Question

help asap pls!!!!!!!!!! Which equation can be used to determine the distance between the origin and (–2, –4)?

Answer 1

We know that
the distance formula is
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]
 point (0,0) and point  (–2, –4)
d=√[(-4-0)²+(-2-0)²]---------> d=√[16+4]-------> d=√20
d=4.47 units

the answer is the option B
see the attached figure
