The point with the greatest distance to the origin is given by:
B. (-3, 3).
What is the distance between two points?
Suppose that we have two points, [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]. The distance between them is given by:
[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
The origin is given by point (0,0), hence the distance of a point (x,y) to the origin is given by:
D = sqrt(x² + y²).
Hence the distances for each point given in the problem are:
- A. Distance = sqrt((-4)² + (-1)²) = sqrt(17).
- B. Distance = sqrt((-3)² + (3)²) = sqrt(18).
- C. Distance = sqrt((4)² + 0²) = sqrt(16).
- D. Distance = sqrt((2)² + 3²) = sqrt(13).
Hence option B has the greatest distance.
