Question

Find the distance, c, between (0, 0) and (–4, –3) on the coordinate plane. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units.

Step-by-step 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= $\sqrt{25}$

d= 5 units
