Question

If the perpendicular distance of a point P from the x axis is 3 unit along the nrgative direction of the y axis . write the ordinate of P​

Answer 1

a perpendicular distance of a point P from the x - axis is 3 unit along the negative direction of the y - axis.

To find : The ordinate of P.

solution : we know, the perpendicular distance of a point from the x - axis gives ordinate ( y - axis) of that point.

if it is along the positive direction of the y - axis, ordinate would be positive.

if it is along the negative direction of the y - axis, ordinate would be negative.

as the perpendicular distance of the point P from the x - axis is 3 unit along the negative direction of the y - axis.

therefore the ordinate of P = -3 [ you can see in figure too ]

Answer 2

Answer:

The ordinate of P = -3
