Answer

13

Work Step by Step

To calculate distance between given points, i. e. origin (0, 0) and (12,-5), we will use distance formula- r = $ \sqrt { (x_{2} - x_{1}) ^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1}) ^{2}}$ = $ \sqrt { (12 - 0) ^{2} + (-5- 0) ^{2}}$ = $ \sqrt { (12) ^{2} + (-5) ^{2}}$ = $ \sqrt {144 +25}$ = $ \sqrt {169}$ = 13
