The distance between J and L is more than J and K hence, the correct option will be (A).
How to find the distance between any two points?
To find the distance between any two points first assign any one point by (1) whose coordinates will be (x₁, y₁) and assign the remaining point with (2) whose coordinates will be (x₂,y₂).
Now, use the below formula to find out the distance
[tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Let's assign J by (1) whose coordinate (2,4) work like (x₁,y₁) and assign L by (2) whose coordinate (1,-1) work like (x₂,y₂).
Now by the distance formula, the distance JL is
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{(1-2)^2 +(-1-4)^2}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-5)^2}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{26[/tex] = 2.236
Now again assign J by (1) whose coordinate (2,4) work like (x₁,y₁) and assign K by (2) whose coordinate (7,-8) work like (x₂,y₂).
Now by the distance formula, the distance JK is
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{(7-2)^2 +(8-4)^2}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{(5)^2 +(4)^2}[/tex]
⇒[tex]\sqrt{(41)}[/tex] = 6.403
Hence, it's clear that the JK is longer than JL.
