We know that the distance between the two points \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)\) and \(\left(x_2, y_2\right)\) is
\(d=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\)
Since, the origin has the Coordinates (0, 0), thus
The given points are (0, 0) and (-5, -12) and therefore,
\(d =\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2} \)
\(=\sqrt{(-5-0)^2+(-12-0)^2} \)
\(=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-12)^2} \)
\(=\sqrt{25+144} \)
\(=\sqrt{169} \)
= 13
Hence, the distance is 13 units.
