Question

Find the distance of the point (2,-3) from
x axis

Answer 1

The distance between the origin and the coordinates (2, 3) is
Square root of (2 – 0)^2 + (3 – 0)^2
Square root of 2^2 + 3^2
Square root of 4 + 9
Square root of 25
Hence 5 will be the total distance between the coordinates and origin.
In case of x-axis we will only consider the value of y coordinate that is 3.
