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 units.

Explanation:

For this problem, you will need to use the distance formula. The distance formula is as shown:

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

We can plug in the points which would result in:

d=
`\sqrt{({-4-0)^(2)+(-3-0)^(2) }`

When solved:

d=
`√(25)`

d= 5 units
