Question

What is the distance of the point (-2,4) from x-axis?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between the given two points are,d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

A(-2,4)

X_axis means y=0

Then distance=√4=2

Answer 2

Given : The coordinates of the given point is (-2,4)

To find : The distance of the given point from x-axis.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the distance of the given point from x-axis)

In two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system :

• A point's coordinates = (abscissa , ordinate)

In the case of, the given point (-2,4) :

• Abscissa = -2
• Ordinate = 4

Now, the distance of a point from x-axis is the ordinate of that point itself.

So, the distance of (-2,4) from x-axis = 4 units

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the distance of the point (-2,4) from x-axis is 4 units.
