Question

find the distance of the point (6,8) from y axis

Answer 1

Hey mate
♣♣Here u go♣♣♣♣

Point (6 , 8) has its coordinates on x-axis at 6 and y-axis at 8. Thus, its distance from y-axis will be the perpendicular distance from the point to y-axis which will be of 6 units.

Answer 2

The distance of the point (6,8) from y-axis is 6 units.

Given : The coordinates of the given point is (6,8)

To find : The distance of the given point from y-axis.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the distance of the given point from the y-axis)

Now, coordinates of a point in two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system has two elements :

1. Abscissa
2. Ordinate

A point's coordinates in the two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system = (abscissa , ordinate)

So, in the given point (6,8)

• Abscissa = 6
• Ordinate = 8

Now, abscissa of a point is the distance of that point from the y-axis.

So, distance of point (6,8) from y-axis = 6 units

Hence, the distance of the point (6,8) from y-axis is 6 units.
