The distance between the points (0, 5) and ( - 5, 0) is

By using the formula:

d2 = (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2



To calculate distance between the points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2)


Here we have;


x1 = 0, x2 = - 5


y2 = 5, y2 = 0


d2 = [( - 5) - 0]2 + [0 - 5]2




d= √50= 5√2


So the distance between (0, 5) and ( - 5, 0) = 5√ 2
