Question

If P = (3, 1) and Q = (-3, -7), find The distance PO​

Answer 1

10 units

Explanation:

Given data

P = (3, 1) and Q = (-3, -7)

x1=3

y1=1

x2= -3

y2= -7

The expression for the distance between two coordinate is

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

Substitute

d=√((-3-3)²+(-7-1)²)

d=√((-6)²+(-8)²)

d=√36+64

d=√100

d=10 units

Hence the distance is 10 units
