Question

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

Answer 1

When we are asked to calculate the distance between a point and any of the axes, we calculate the perpendicular distance between them.

Therefore, the point (-3,4) is 3 units away from the y-axis and 4 units from the x-axis. This is because in case of either axes the co-ordinate of the other axis is zero.

Therefore the distance between the point P(-3,4) and x-axis is 4 units.

Answer 2

Concept Introduction: Coordinate axes are are used to know the position of a object

Given:

We have been Given: Position of Point P

$( - 3 \: . \: 4)$

To Find:

We have to Find: The Position of Point P from X axis.

Solution:

According to the problem, value of

$x = - 3$

and

$y = 4$

that means, the point P is away from X axis by

$4 \: cm$

Final Answer: The distance of Point P from X axis is

$4 \: cm$
