Q1 of 184 Page 10

Find the distance between the following pair of points:

(0, 0), (- 5, 12)

Given points are (0, 0) and (- 5, 12)



We need to find the distance between these two points.


We know that distance(S) between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is





⇒ S = √169


⇒ S = 13


∴ The distance between the points (0, 0) and (- 5, 12) is 13 units.
