Question

find the distance of the points (-4, 3) from y axis
​

Answer 1

Given:-

• A point is given which is (-4,3).

To Find:-

• The distance of this point from y - axis .

Formula Used:-

We will use distance formula :-

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\pink{\tt{\dag Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}}}}}}$

Answer:-

We know that on y - axis value of x - coordinate is 0 .

Also at that point value of ordinate will be 3.

So , the co-ordinate on y-axis will be (0,3).

Now , lets find distance b/w them :

Let us take Distance be k.

$\sf{\implies k = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}}$

$\sf{\implies k = \sqrt{[0-(-4)]^2+(3-3)^2}}$

$\sf{\implies k = \sqrt{4^2+0}}$

$\sf{\implies k = \sqrt{4^2}}$

$\underline{\boxed{\green{\tt{\leadsto k = 4}}}}$

Hence the required distance is 4units.
