• Points of origin = (x₁ , y₁) = (0,0)

• Another Point = (x₂ , y₂) = (-3,4)

$\underline{\underline{\textsf{\maltese\:\: {\red{Solution :}}}}}$

In order to find the distance between two points we need to use the Distance Formula.

D = √ (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

D = √ (-3 - 0)² + (4 - 0)²

D = √(-3)² + 4²

D = √8 + 16

D = √25

D = 5 units

∴ Distance of point (-3,4) from the origin is ${\underline{\textbf{5 units}}}$.
