Question

what is the distance of the point (-2,5) from Y axis using distance formula
plz fast

Answer 1

we have to find distance from y axis... so from pt(0,5)...so
distance between (0,5)and(-2,5)
√[(0+2)^2+(5-5)^2]=2units

Answer 2

As we need to find distance from Y-axis, point (-2,5) is perpendicular to Y-axis.
And we get pt (0,5) on Y-axis so by distance formula...
