Answer:
The distance of the point P (−3, −4) from the x-axis is 4 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
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.
Therefore, the required answer is 4 units.
