Question

The distance of the point (5,0) and (-3,0) from x axis is

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance of the points ( 5, 0 ) and ( - 3, 0 ) from x - axis is 8 units.

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance of the point (5,0) and (-3,0) from the x-axis is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points (5,0) and (-3,0) and we need to calculate their distance from the x-axis.

Let us assume these two points as

A = (5,0)

and  B = (-3,0)

In both points A and B one thing are common and that is their distance from the ordinate is 0 units which means that when these two points are located on the graph then both these points will be found on the x-axis alone.  

Then the distance of both points A and B from the x-axis will become zero units.
