Question

Find the distance between the points (0, –3) and (4, 0).

Question 12 options:

A)

25

B)

5

C)

7

D)

1

Answer 1

5 units

Explanation:

`Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)`

`d = √((0 - 4)^2 + (-3 - 0)^2)`

`d = √((-4)^2 + (-3)^2)`

`d = √(16 + 9)`

`d = √(25)`

`d = 5`

So, the distance between the points is 5 units which is letter choice B.
