Answer

Origin (O) = (0, 0) and P = (-4, -3).

By distance formula,

Distance between two points = (x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}

OP=(−4−0)2+(−3−0)2=(−4)2+(−3)2=16+9=25=5 units.OP = \sqrt{(-4 - 0)^2 + (-3 - 0)^2}\\[1em] = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-3)^2}\\[1em] = \sqrt{16 + 9}\\[1em] = \sqrt{25}\\[1em] = \text{5 units}.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
