a. 3
b. -3
c. 4
d. 5

Answer 1

the required distance of point P is equal to the origin of the point

that means the distance is = -4

Answer 2

$\Large\underline\mathfrak{Question}$

• The distance of the point P (-3,-4) from the x-axis (in units) is ?

$\Large\bold\star\underline{\underline\textbf{Concept\:used}}$

• If coordinates of points defined as P(a,b), then
• 1. The distance of the point P(a,b) from the x-axis is |b| units.
• 2. The distance of the point P(a,b) from the y-axis is |a| units.

$\large\boxed{\underline{\mathcal{\red{A}\green{n}\pink{s}\orange{w}\blue{e}\red{r}}}}$

The given point is P(-3,-4).

Here, the x-coordinate is -3 and y-coordinate is -4.

It means a=-3 and b=-4.

So,

1. The distance of the point P(-3,-4) from the x-axis = |-4| = 4 units.

2. The distance of the point P(-3,-4) from the y-axis is = |-3| = 3 units.
