Question

The distance of the pt P ( -6, 8 ) from the origin

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Point ( x, y )

Origin ( 0, 0 )

To find:

The distance.

Solution:

By formula

Distance between two points = √(( y2 - y1 )^2 + ( x2 - x1 )^2)

Origin ( 0, 0 ) ( x1, y1 )

Point ( x, y ) ( x2, y2 )

Distance = √(( y - 0 )^2 + ( x - 0 )^2

√(x)^2 + (y)^2

Hence, the distance of a point P(x,y) from the origin is √(x)^2 + (y)^2.
