A NEW OG 2021 QUESTION
First, find the distance between (4,5) representing (x1,y1) and (0,0) representing (x2,y2) using the distance formula
(Distance b/w (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) ) = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )
=√(4-0)^2 + (5-0)^2 = √4^2+ 5^2
=√41
Now check the options
Option A - Distance b/w (−3,2) and (−7,8) using the distance formula = √(−7+3)^2+(8−2)^2
= √(-4)^2 + (6)^2 = √16 + 36 and is not equal to √41
Option B- Distance b/w (−2,1) and (3,5) using the distance formula = √(3−(−2))^2+(5−1)^2
= √25+16 = √41 and is EQUAL to the distance b/w points (4,5) and (0,0) as calculated above.
OPTION(B)
In the xy plane, the distance between the origin and the point (4,5) is the same as the distance between which of the following two points? Print
