Question

find the perpendicular distances to the x,y axis to the point (4,5)​

Answer 1

5 is the correct answer

Answer 2

Your answer is given below >÷÷÷>

The perpendicular distance fromy-axis to a point(x,y)isx-coordinate

So, ∣x∣ is the distance.Similarly, the perpendicular distance from x-axis to a point (x,y)isy-coordinateSo, ∣y∣ is the distance.

We use absolute value as the coordinates may be negative and distance should be positive.
