## anonymous 4 years ago Which of the following coordinates is nearest to the right of the origin on a coordinate plane? A) (-3, 0) B) (5, 0) C) (2, 1) D) (4, 4)

Hi need help i think it is 5,0

2. anonymous

No wait 4,4

3. anonymous

the origin is (0,0)

4. anonymous

If you can can you help me on other problems to

5. anonymous

not to gve me the asnwer but help me correct them???

6. anonymous

so you want x to be positive and y to be close to 0

7. anonymous

Well i am guessing whatever of the sets that are listed above is closiest to the right!

Hey

i just told you what to do, guessing doesnt get you anywhere

use the distant to a point formula to know which one is closer or less distance to the origin (0,0) the distance formula is $d=\sqrt{(x1-x2)^{2}+(y1-y2)^{2}}$

12. anonymous

solve them all against the origin (0,0) for A) (-3, 0)=(x1,y1).., (0,0)=(x2,y2) $d=\sqrt{(-3-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=$

13. anonymous

solve them from A to D and compare which one is the nearest to the right of the origin (0,0)
