Question

Find The Perpendicular Distance Of The Point P (-5,-6) From The X-Axis

Answer 1

Perpendicular distance of the point P from x axis is 6 units(in negative direction)

Answer 2

The perpendicular distance of the point from the x-axis is 6 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The point P(-5,-6).

To find : The perpendicular distance of the point from the x-axis?

Solution :

The distance of the point P(a,b) from x axis is given by the y-coordinate of the point.

i.e. if point is P(a,b) then the distance from x-axis is d=|b|.

The point given is P(-5,-6).

where, x-coordinate a=-5 and y-coordinate b=-6

Distance is d=|-6|=6 unit

Therefore, the perpendicular distance of the point from the x-axis is 6 unit.
