Find distance of point `(-4,3)` from the origin.

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find the distance of the point (-4, 3) from the origin (0, 0), we can use the distance formula. The distance \( d \) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: - The point given is \( A(-4, 3) \). - The origin is \( O(0, 0) \). 2. **Assign Coordinates**: - Let \( (x_1, y_1) = (0, 0) \) (the origin). - Let \( (x_2, y_2) = (-4, 3) \) (the given point). 3. **Substitute into the Distance Formula**: \[ d = \sqrt{((-4) - 0)^2 + (3 - 0)^2} \] 4. **Calculate the Differences**: - \( x_2 - x_1 = -4 - 0 = -4 \) - \( y_2 - y_1 = 3 - 0 = 3 \) 5. **Square the Differences**: \[ d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (3)^2} \] \[ d = \sqrt{16 + 9} \] 6. **Add the Squares**: \[ d = \sqrt{25} \] 7. **Take the Square Root**: \[ d = 5 \] ### Final Answer: The distance of the point (-4, 3) from the origin is \( 5 \).
