Question

Find the distance between P and 0(0, 0).
P(9, -12)

Answer 1

P: x = 9, y = -12
O: x1 = 0, y1 = 0

Distance between P and O = 15

Step-by-step solution:
Formula;
Distance between two points =
√(y1-y)² + (x1-x)²

• Substitute the values into equation

D = √((0)-(-12))² + ((0)-(9))²

• Solve

D = √(12)² + (-9)²
D = √(144 + 81)
D = √225
D = 15
