Question

find the distance of a point -2 -3 from the origin​

Answer 1

Answer:

From the x-axis the distance is 3 and from the y-axis distance will be 2

Answer 2

Distance between two points (a,b) and (x,y) is given by:

Distance = √{(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2}

Similarly, we can calculate the distance between any two given points.

According to question:

First Point = (-2, -3)

Second Point = (0, 0)

Thus, Distance (s) is given by:

S = √{(-2-0)^2 + (-3-0)^2}

= √{(-2)^2 + (-3)^2}

= √{4 + 9}

= √13 units.

Hence, the distance of a point (-2, -3) from the origin is √13 units.
