$\setlength{\unitlength}{1.0 cm}}\begin{picture}(12,4)\thicklines\put(1,1){\line(1,0){6.5}}\put(1,1.1){\line(1,0){6.5}}\end{picture}$

We know that,

(x, y) = (2, 3) is a point on the Cartesian plane in the first quadrant.

x = Perpendicular distance from Y-axis

y = Perpendicular distance from X-axis

Therefore:

• The perpendicular distance from X-axis = y coordinate = 3

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1.0 cm}}\begin{picture}(12,4)\thicklines\put(1,1){\line(1,0){6.5}}\put(1,1.1){\line(1,0){6.5}}\end{picture}$

Answer 2

Answer:

(B) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know, y-axis shows distance of point from x-axis and here y=3, so distance= 3 units.

P is 3 units from x-axis.
