Answer:
A. 5
Explanation:
Given the points (-1,2) and (2,6):
To find the distance between the points, we use the distance formula:
[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-1,2) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(2,6) \\ \implies Distance=\sqrt[]{(2-(-1))^2+(6-2)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(2+1)^2+(6-2)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{3^2+4^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{25} \\ =5\text{ units} \end{gathered}[/tex]The distance between the given points is 5 units.
