Answer 1

ANSWER

The distance is 10 units.

EXPLANATION

Let us use the distance formula to find the distance between,

$(x_1,y_1)=(1,4)$

and

$(x_2,y_2)=( - 5, - 4)$

The distance formula is given by,

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$

We plug in the values to get,

$d = \sqrt{( - 5-1)^2 + ( - 4-4)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{( -6)^2 + ( - 8)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{36+ 64}$

$d = \sqrt{100}$

$d = 10$
