Answer 1

Heya, here is your Answer ____________________________________
the distance of the point (4,7) from the x-axis is 7 unit.

Answer 2

The distance from x axis to P(4,7). Let the distance be perpendicular point 

X(7,0).

Then Distance = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

                        = √(7-4)² + (0-7)²

                        = √(3)²+(7)²

                        = √9+49 = √50 units
