Answer 2

Answer:

The distance of point P(2,3) from x-axis is 3 units.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The Given point is P(2,3).

We have to find the distance from x-axis i.e perpendicular distance from x-axis. Because, the perpendicular distance is the shortest distance.

For better understanding refer the figure:

The nearest point from P(2,3) is (2,0) as shown in figure.

Now find the distance between the points by using the distance formula.

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substitute the respective values as shown.

$d=\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(0-3)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{9}$

$d=3$

Hence, the distance of point P(2,3) from x-axis is 3 units.
