Question

If the perpendicular distance of a point P from the X- axis is 5 units and the foot of perpendicular lies on the negative direction of X-axis, then find the y-coordinates of P.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, foot of perpendicular lies on the negative direction of X-axis, so perpendicular distance can be meausre in II quadrant or III quadrant . Hence , the point P has y-coordinate =5 or -5.
