Point A is on the y axis at a distance of 4 units from the origin. If the coordinates of point B are (-3,0) the length of AB.

Since the point A lies on y-axis at a distance of 4 units from the origin, thenabscissa of point A = 0ordinate of point A = 4Hence, coordinates of point A are A0,4.Now, the other given point is B-3,0.We know that distance between 2 points x1,y1 and x2,y2 is given by :distance = x2-x12 + y2-y12Now, AB = -3-02+0-42 = 9+16 = 25 = 5 units
