Question

distance of the point whose ordinate is 3 and abscissa is 7 from the x axis is​

Answer 1

The distance of the point whose ordinate is 3 and abscissa is 7 from the x axis is​ 3 units.

Explanation:

• A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional flat surface where the vertical line is called the y-axis and the horizontal is called the x-axis.

On coordinate plane:

• The distance of any point (a,b) from x-axis is b units.
• The distance of any point (a,b) from y-axis is a units.    (i)

, where a is the abscissa and b is the ordinate.

Given point : abscissa is 7 and ordinate is 3

i.e. a=7 and b =3

The distance of the point from the x axis is​ 3 units. [From (i)]

Therefore , the distance of the point whose ordinate is 3 and abscissa is 7 from the x axis is​ 3 units.
