MCQ
The distance between the points $P(-6, 8)$ from the origin is:
- A$8$
- B$2\sqrt{7}$
- ✓$10$
- D$6$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$10$
$\therefore$ Distance between the points $\left( x _1, y _2\right)$ and $\left( x _2, y _2\right)$
$d=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$
Here, $x_1=-6, y_1=8$ and $x_2=0, y_2=0$
$\therefore$ Distance between $P(-6, 8)$ and origin i.e., $O(0, 0)$
$\text{PO}=\sqrt{[0-(-6)]^2+(0-8)^2}$
$\text{PO}=\sqrt{(6)^2+(-8)^2}$
$\text{PO}=\sqrt{36+64}$
$\text{PO}=\sqrt{100}$
$\text{PO}=10$
