Question

(a) The distance of the point (-3, 4) from the x-axis is
(i) 3 (ii) -3 (iii) 4
(iv) 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given points -3, 4.

The point on the x axis Is -3, 0

Using distance formula

Distance = √(-3+3)^2 + (4-0)^2 (formula used here

is √(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2. )

i.e. distance = √0+16

i.e. distance = √16

i.e. distance = 4

therefore answer is 4 i.e. (iii) is correct
