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

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

$Distance = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}$

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

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

$d = \sqrt{16 + 9}$

$d = \sqrt{25}$

$d = 5$

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