Question

Find the distance of the Point p(-2,-3)from x axis.

Answer 1

The distance will be oordinate i.e. 3 units.

Answer 2

The distance of the Point p(-2,-3) from x axis is 3 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : The distance of the Point p(-2,-3)from x axis ?

Solution :

We know that,  

Any point P(a,b) on the Cartesian plane distance from the x-axis is given by y co-ordinate.

i.e. the distance from x-axis is |b| unit.

On comparing with given point,

a=-2 and b=-3

The y-coordinate is -3.

The distance is |-3|=3.

So, the distance of the Point p(-2,-3) from x axis is 3 unit.
