Question

What is the distance of point p(-2,3) from y-axis?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the x-coordinate is '-3' and y -coordinate is '2'.

As, the distance of a point from the 'y' axis is the 'x' coordinate which is -3. Therefore, the distance of the point p(-3,2) is -3 units.

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance of a point in the Cartesian plane from the fixed axes is such that

: (1) Distance from the y-axis is the absolute value of the x-coordinate units

(2) Distance from the x-axis is the absolute value of the y-coordinate .

This is clearly fundamental from the geomteric interpretation.

So, here distance of point (-2,3) from y-axis will be = | -2 | units = 2 units

Hope this helps you !

Similarly the distance of the point from the x-axis will be = |3| units = 3 units
