What is the distance between the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system and the point (5, -2)? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

OpenStudy (scoobydo):

@Will.H after this can you help me please I really need it and sorry @YourBoyDusty I don't mean to be rude

OpenStudy (yourboydusty):

your fine

OpenStudy (will.h):

yes sure @scoobydo @YourBoyDusty we will have to use distence formula \[D = \sqrt{(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2}\]

OpenStudy (will.h):

are there any options? and the origin they means (0,0)? if yes then (0,0) ((5,-2) \[\sqrt{(-2-0)^2 + (5-0)^2}\] \[5.39\]

OpenStudy (yourboydusty):

so the answer is 5.39?

OpenStudy (will.h):

yes

OpenStudy (yourboydusty):

thanks
