- 𝑥 − 𝑦


- |𝑥 − 𝑦|
Hint:
Distance between two points having coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by formula:
Distance = 
Coordinates of origin are (0, 0).
The correct answer is: 
- Step by step explanation:
○ Given:
Points (0,0) and B (x, y).
○ Step 1:
○ Find distance:
○ Distance = 
Distance =
