The correct answer among the choices provided is option B. The right coordinate for point B with 7 units as distance is (-2,4). To arrive at the answer, the distance formula is used. The solution for the problem is:
7= √[(-2-5)² + (4-4)²)

The  required coordinate for point B will be (-2, 4)

Distance between two points

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is:

  • \(D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)&^2}\)

Using the coordinates (5, 4) and (-2, 4). The distance between the coordinates is expressed as:

\(D=\sqrt{(4-4-x_1)^2+(-2-5)^2}|\\D=\sqrt{0-^2+7^2}\\ D=\sqrt{49} \\D = 7 units\)

Hence the  required coordinate for point B will be (-2, 4)
