Question

if the perpendicular distance of a point p from the x axis is 5 unit and the foot of the perpendicular lies on the negative direction of x axis , then find the y coordinate of point p

Answer 1

I HOPE THAT THIS HELPS YOU.

Answer 2

Answer:

The y coordinate of point p is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :The perpendicular distance of a point p from the x axis is 5 unit  and the foot of the perpendicular lies on the negative direction of x axis

To Find :  find the y coordinate of point p

Solution:

The perpendicular distance of a point p from the x axis is 5 unit

So, the distance of point p along y axis from origin is 5 units

y coordinate provides the distance of the point along y axis

So, y coordinate is 5

Refer the attached figure

Hence the y coordinate of point p is 5
