Question

The distance of the point P (2,3) from x-axis is :
(a) 2 units
(b) 3 units
(c) 1 unit
(d) 5 units​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 unit is the answer

I am not sure

Answer 2

The given coordinate of the point is P (2,3)

Whenever, coordinate is written then first number written in the bracket denotes the x-coordinate. The second number in the bracket is the y-coordinate.

As we know,

x-coordinate= distance of a point from x-axis

y-coordinate= distance of a point from y-axis

Here in this question, it is asked to answer the distance of the point P from x-axis

So, from above knowledge it is clear that distance from x-axis is 3 units.
