Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the length using the distance formula
d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (7, - 1)
d = [tex]\sqrt{(7-(-5))^2+(-1-4)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(7+5)^2+(-5)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{12^2+25}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{144+25}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{169}[/tex]
= 13
