Question

what is the distance of point p(2,-3) from x axis

Answer 1

I hope....I 'm Right

Answer 2

The distance of the point from the x-axis is 2.

• To find the distance of the point from the x-axis is always the modulus of x- coordinate of the point.

• The distance of the point from the y-axis is the modulus of y-coordinate of the point.
• And to find the distance of the point from the origin is modulus of the $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ , where  x and y are the coordinates of the point.
