Question

find the distance of point P(-3,-4) from x-axis in units

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of point P(-3,-4) from x-axis in units

= |Y - coordinate of the point|

= |-4|

= 4

Therefore,

The distance of point P(-3,-4) from x-axis in units = 4

Answer 2

Answer:  The required distance of point P from X-axis is 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the distance of point P(-3, -4) from X-axis in units.

We know that

for a point (a, b), the distance from X-axis is the absolute value of the y co-ordinate and the distance from  Y-axis is the absolute value of the x co-ordinate.

Therefore, the distance of point P(-3, -4) from X-axis is equal to

$d=|-4|=4.$

Thus, the required distance of point P from X-axis is 4 units.
