Question

If the perpendicular distance of a point P from the X-axis is 7 units and the foot of the perpendicular lies on the negative direction of X-axis, then the point P has: *

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{\fcolorbox{white}{pink}{Answer:-}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(d) 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

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
