Question

the distance of the point (2,-3) from x axis​

Answer 1

the point is in 3 units distance from X axis (Below the axis)

because y coordinates is the distance from X axix

Answer 2

(2,-3) is in the form of (x, y).

y will give the distance from x-axis and

x will give the distance from y-axis.

In this case y is - 3.

But since distance can't be negative, it's 3 units.
