Find the distance from the point (-5,6) to the origin.

To find the distance of the point (-5, 6) from the origin
.

We know that the distance d between the two points (x1,y1P and
(x2,y2) is given by:

d = sqrt{(x2-x1)^2
+(y2-y1)^2}.

Therefore the distance between (-5, 6) and the origin
(0,0) is given by:

d = sqrt{(0- -(5))^2+((0-6)^2}
.

d = sqrt{25+36}.

d = sqrt
(61}.
