उत्तर

`sqrt(41)` units

Explanation:

Given points are (– 5, 4) and (0, 0).

Distance = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`

Here, x1 = – 5, y1 = 4, x2 = 0, y2 = 0

∴ Distance = `sqrt((0 - (- 5))^2 + (0 - 4)^2`

= `sqrt(5^2 + 4^2)`

= `sqrt(25 + 16)`

= `sqrt(41)`

Thus, the distance is `sqrt(41)` units.
