Which of the points is closer to the origin?

Question

on a graph, which point is closer to the origin? (0,0)

A(3,4) or B(-2,5)

Answer 1

Actually, according to my calculations, they are both the same. point B would be the same on the right side of the y axis, which would make it 2,5. 5+2=7. A's are already on that side, therefore we can add them as they are. 3+4=7. as you can see, both of these coordinates add up to be 7, therefore they are the same distance away from the origin of the graph.

Answer 2

I'm certain it's B

Answer 3

A is 5 units from the origin.

B is sqrt ( (-2)^2 +(5)^2) = sqrt 29 which is longer than sqrt 25 =5.

so, A is closer.

Answer 4

A. i think

Answer 5

I think Tim nailed it... B is my final answer
