Question

Find the perpendicular distance of point (-3, -7) from x axis and y axis.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the point (-3,_-7) lies in 3rd quadrant.

The distance from the x-axis is -3 and from y-axis - 7.

These are the the perpendicular distances from the x-axis and y-axis respectively.

So the magnitude of perpendicular distances from the x-axis and y-axis are 3 and 7 respectively.
