Question

Find the distance of a point P(x,y) from x axis

Answer 1

Answer is y units

Let's take an example and understand.

Take the point (2,5)

This point when plotted on graph, it will be plotted 2 units from y axis and 5 units from x axis.

Thus, the "x" is the distance of point from the y axis and the "y" is the distance of the point from x axis.
