Question

Find the distance, c, between (0,0) and (-4,-3) on the coordinate plane. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

To solve the equation you'll use the distance formula:

`\sqrt{\left(x_(2)-x_(1)\right)^(2)+\left(y_(2)-y_(1)\right)^(2)}`

Substitute the equation with (0,0) being
`x_(1)`,
`y_(1)` and (-4,-3)
`x_(2),y_(2)`

`\sqrt{\left(0+4\right)^(2)+\left(-3+0\right)^(2)}`

if you solve this you'll get 5
