Given:  

A point in a 2-D coordinate system with a distance of 2 units from the X-axis and 3 units from the Y-axis.

To Find:

The coordinates of two such points in the 2D coordinate system.

Solution:

The above problem can be solved by using the properties of 2-D coordinate geometry.

1. The Distance of the point P( x, y)  is y units from the X-axis and x units from the y-axis respectively.

2. The distance can never be negative irrespective of the sign of the coordinates. (Ignore the negative signs of the coordinates)

  • For Example, the distance of the point P ( -1, -2) from the X and Y-axis are 2 and 1 units respectively.  

3. It is given that the coordinates (x, y) are at a distance of 2 units from the X-axis and 3 units from the Y-axis.  

4. Therefore, from the mentioned properties above in points 1 and 2,  

  • The possible coordinates can be (3, 2) and (-3, -2) as it satisfies both the mentioned properties.

Therefore, the two possible points are (3, 2) and (-3, -2). (Option C).
