Question

find the distance of point (-1,2)
from the y axis

Answer 1

Hii dear here is your answer.....

This answer is verified ✅✅

The distance of the point P(-1,2) from the O(0,0) is given by

$op = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} }$

$op = \sqrt{ { (- 1)}^{2} + {(2)}^{2} }$
$= \sqrt{1 + 4}$

$= \sqrt{5} \: units$

Hope it will help you...
