(3,0)and(4,0)
Using the distance formula:
Distance (d) = %28sqrt%28%28x1-x2%29%5E2%2B%28y1-y2%29%5E2%29%29
(d) = %28sqrt%28%283-4%29%5E2%2B%280-0%29%5E2%29%29 [plug-in the values and solve]
(d) = %28sqrt%28%28-1%29%5E2%2B%280%29%5E2%29%29
(d) = 1

(3,0) and (4,0) are ordered pairs giving position of two points in two-dimensional space. First values are x coordinates and second values are y coordinates - both points lie on x axis with x displacement of 1.
