Answer 2

Option A: 25 units is the distance between the points
`(0,-3)` and
`(4,0)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two coordinates
`(0,-3)` and
`(4,0)`

We need to determine the distance between these two points.

The distance between the two points can be determined using the distance formula,

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Substituting the coordinates in the formula, we get,

`d=√((4-0)^2+(0+3)^2)`

Simplifying the terms within the bracket, we get,

`d=√((4)^2+(3)^2)`

Squaring the terms, we get,

`d=√(16+9)`

Adding, we get,

`d=√(25)`

Simplifying, we have,

`d=5`

Thus, the distance between the two points is 5 units.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
