Answer 1

The distance between the points (0, 5) and (–3, 1) is 5 units.

Explanation:

Let be point A(0, 5) and B(–3, 1)

x₁ = 0, y₁ = 5, x₂ = –3, y₂ = 1

Distance between the points

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

AB = `sqrt((-3 - 0)^2 + (1 - 5)^2`

= `sqrt(9 + 16)`

= `sqrt(25)`

= 5 units
