To find the distance between points J and K, we can use the distance formula:

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Plugging in the coordinates of J and K, we get:

Distance = √[(5 - 1)^2 + (0 - 5)^2]
Distance = √[4^2 + (-5)^2]
Distance = √[16 + 25]
Distance = √41

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the distance between points J and K is approximately 6.
