A coordinate system has a horizontal x-axis labeled from negative 6 to 6 in increments of 1 and a vertical y-axis labeled from negative 2 to 10 in increments of 1. A graph consists of a line segment extending from a solid point labeled Upper P 1 that is 4 units to the left of and 5 units above the origin to a solid point labeled Upper P 2 that is 1 unit to the right of and 6 units above the origin.

(Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.)

System that uses coordinates to uniquely determine the position of points. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian system, where points are given by distance along a horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis from the origin. A polar coordinate system locates a point by its direction relative to a reference direction and its distance from a given point. In three dimensions, it leads to cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
