Question

For the point (5,2),the distance from the x-axis is 2 units.How?explain

Answer 1

Here, x = 5 and y = 2

so, distance, from x axis = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the points are (5,2) and (x,0)

distance between 2 points = 2

√(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² = 2

square on both side

(5-x)² + (2)² =4

(5-x)² +4=4

(5-x)² =0

5-x=0

x=5

we take (x,0) because the line intersect at x axis so the point will be x axis

we take y=0 because the point will be on x axis
