Answer:

The distance is 4.5 units.

Explanation:

We could find the distance with the formula:


d=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) +(y_(2)-y_(1) )^(2) }

From the graph, we see that points have these coordinates:


A(0;0)\\B(-2;4)

Where A is the first point
(x_(1);y_(1) ) and B is the second point
(x_(2) y_(2))

Replacing these coordinates, we have:


d=√((-2)-0)^(2) +(4-0)^(2) }


d=√(4+16)


d=√(20) \approx 4.5

Therefore, the distance is 4.5 units.
