Suppose we got the Euclidean distance between a new data point P(x,y) = (2,3) and each point in our dataset, which is shown in the euclidean_distance column in the table below. We want to label a new point using a KNN with K = 3. Which set of points do you think contributes to the classification? And what is the label (shape) that will be assigned to the new data point ?

x y shape euclidean_distance
1 2 circle 1.414214
-3 -4 triangle 8.602325
-2 4 circle 4.123106
-2 8 triangle 6.403124
4 6 triangle 3.605551
3 5 circle 2.236068
10 1 circle 8.246211
