Answer:

5

Explanation:

Draw straight lines from the origin to the two points.

This creates a right triangle.

The distance from (0, 0) to (0,-3) is

a = 0 – (-3)

a = 0 + 3

a = 3

The distance from (0, 0) to (4, 0) is

b = 4 – 0

b = 4


According to Pythagoras,

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

c = 5

The distance between (-4,0) and (0,-3) is 5.
