Question

9) In the standard co-ordinate system, which of the following points in the greatest distance from origin? A. (-4, -1) B. (-3, 3) C. (4,0) D. (2, 3)​

Answer 1

The point with the greatest distance to the origin is given by:

B. (-3, 3).

What is the distance between two points?

Suppose that we have two points, $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$. The distance between them is given by:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

The origin is given by point (0,0), hence the distance of a point (x,y) to the origin is given by:

D = sqrt(x² + y²).

Hence the distances for each point given in the problem are:

• A. Distance = sqrt((-4)² + (-1)²) = sqrt(17).

• B. Distance = sqrt((-3)² + (3)²) = sqrt(18).

• C. Distance = sqrt((4)² + 0²) = sqrt(16).

• D. Distance = sqrt((2)² + 3²) = sqrt(13).

Hence option B has the greatest distance.
