Solution
The distance of the point P(–6, 8) from the origin is 10.
Explanation:
Distance formula: d2 = (x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2
According to the question,
We have,
x1 = – 6, x2 = 0
y1 = 8, y2 = 0
d2 = [0 – (– 6)]2 + [0 – 8]2
d = `sqrt((0 - (-6))^2 + (0 - 8)^2`
d = `sqrt((6)^2 + (-8)^2`
d = `sqrt(36 + 64)`
d = `sqrt(100)`
d = 10
Therefore, the distance between P(–6, 8) and origin O(0, 0) is 10.

Find distance between point A(–1, 1) and point B(5, –7):
Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = –7
Using distance formula,
d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square +[(-7) + square]^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(A, B) = `square`
