Segment AB has point A located at (5, 4). If the distance from A to B is 7 units, which of the following could be used to calculate the coordinates for point B?

7 = square root of the quantity of x plus 4 all squared plus y plus 5 all squared
7 = square root of the quantity of x plus 5 all squared plus y plus 4 all squared
7 = square root of the quantity of x minus 4 all squared plus y minus 5 all squared
7 = square root of the quantity of x minus 5 all squared plus y minus 4 all squared
