Answer:
[tex]d=3\ units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula is:
[tex]d = \sqrt {\left( {x_2 - x_1 } \right)^2 + \left( {y_2 - y_1 } \right)^2[/tex]
We can plug in the given coordinate pairs into the formula:
[tex]d = \sqrt {\left( {5-5\right)^2 + \left( {4-(-1) } \right)^2[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt {\left( {0 } \right)^2 + \left( {-4+1} \right)^2[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{0+(-3)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{0+9}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{9}[/tex]
[tex]d=3\ units[/tex]
