Question

If the perpendicular distance of a point A from the x axis is 6units and foot of perpendicular lies on the negative direction of the x axis then write the ordinate of point A.
Who knows the answer? Please answer.(•_-)​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that, the perpendicular distance of a point from the X-axis gives y-coordinate of that point. Here, foot of perpendicular lies on the negative direction of X-axis, so perpendicular distance can be measure in II quadrant or III quadrant. Hence, the point P has y-coordinate = 5 or -5.

Answer 2

Answer:

y coordinate =5or−5

We do know the perpendicular distance of a point from the X - axis Y - coordinate of that point. Here foot of perpendicular lies on the negative direction of X - axis, so perpendicular distance can be measure in II quadrant or III quadrant. Hence, the point P has y- coordinate =5or−5
