Answer 2

Answer:

3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest distance between the coordinate (2,-3) and the x- axis, is a straight line to the point (2,0).

Hence we need to get the distance between (2,-3) and (2,0)

Formula for calculating distance between 2 coordinates is:

√{(x₂-x₁)+(y₁-y₂)}

Distance between  (2,-3) and (2,0) therefore is:

√{(2-2)+(0-₋3)}

√(0²+3²)  = √(0+9)  = √9

= 3

Therefore the distance between (2,-3) from the x-axis is 3 units.
