  • The image displays a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system with an x-axis and a y-axis.
  • A right triangle is drawn on the graph.
  • The vertices of the triangle are: the origin (0, 0); point –(x₁, y–) on the y-axis; and point P₂ located at the coordinates (x₂, y₂).
  • One side of the triangle lies along the vertical y-axis, connecting the origin to point –(x₁, y–).
  • Another side of the triangle lies along the horizontal x-axis, connecting the origin to a point at (x₂, 0) (implied by the right angle).
  • The hypotenuse of the right triangle connects point –(x₁, y–) to point P₂ (x₂, y₂), and the distance along this hypotenuse is labeled with the letter 'd'.
  • The coordinates of the points involved are explicitly labeled on the graph.
