    Origin is (0,0) and pt is (3,-4)
    so applying distance formula.......

     \sqrt{(x2 - x1) { } ^{2} + )y2 - y1)  {}^{2} }
     \sqrt{(3 - 0 {})^{2}  + ( - 4 - 0) {}^{2} }
     \sqrt{9 + 16}
     \sqrt{25}
    = ±5
    but distance cant be negative....
    so rejecting negatuve value.....
    hence answer is.....
    5 units......
    hope it helps....
