(1,6)
(2,6)
(4,5)
(5,1)

The point which is farthest from the origin is required.
The point which is the greatest distance from the origin is [tex](4,5)[/tex]
The distance of a point from origin is given by
[tex]d=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/tex]
[tex](1,6)[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{1^2+6^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{37}\ \text{units}[/tex]
[tex](2,6)[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{2^2+6^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{40}\ \text{units}[/tex]
[tex](4,5)[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{4^2+5^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{41}\ \text{units}[/tex]
[tex](5,1)[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{5^2+1^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{26}\ \text{units}[/tex]
The largest number is [tex]\sqrt{41}[/tex]
