Question

Find the distance of (5,-4),(-3,5) from y axis​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units and 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of a point gives its distance from the y-axis and vice-versa.

So, for (5,-4), the x-coordinate 5 is the distance from y-axis.

And, for (-3,5), the x-coordinate |-3| is the distance from y-axis. We take the distance from y-axis here as 3 units and not -3 units as distance cannot be negative.
