What is the distance between the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system and the point (4 -6) If necessary round your answer to two decimal places.?

The distance between the origin (0, 0) and the point (4, -6) can be calculated using the distance formula: ( d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} ). Substituting the coordinates, we get ( d = \sqrt{(4 - 0)^2 + (-6 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 36} = \sqrt{52} ). Rounding to two decimal places, the distance is approximately 7.21.
