Question

what is the distance of point A (5, - 6) from the x-axis?

Answer 1

Heya,


the distance of the point (5, -6) from x- axis is 6 units.

In general, the distance of the point (x,y) from x-axis is y.

and, from y-axis is x.

Answer 2

Answer:

The perpendicular distance of the  point ( 5, - 6 ) from X−axis is 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular distance of a point from x axis is the y-coordinate and the perpendicular distance of a point from the y-axis is the x-coordination as per definition.The y-coordinate of the point P is 6.

the perpendicular distance of a point from the y-axis is the x-coordination that is 5 units.

The given point is from x-axis , so the perpendicular distance of a point from the x-axis is the y-coordination  is 6 units.

Distance from origin O(0,0) and the given points (x, y) is √(x²+y²).
