Question

Find the distance of the points given (1,7) and (0,5)

Answer 1

To find the distance between the points \((1, 7)\) and \((0, 5)\), you can use the distance formula:

\[
d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]

Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (1, 7)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (0, 5)\).

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[
d = \sqrt{(0 - 1)^2 + (5 - 7)^2}
\]

Calculate each part:

\[
d = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5}
\]

So, the distance between the points \((1, 7)\) and \((0, 5)\) is \(\sqrt{5}\).
