Question

what is the distance of the point P (5,7) from x axis

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) As we have 4 quadrants, first we need to locate the given point.

2) The given point P(x,y) is P(5,7). Both x and y values are positive.   So, the point is in the first quadrant.

3) As shown in the figure at the attachment, the point is located at  points from the y-axis and 7 points from the x-axis.

4) So, the distance of the point P (5,7) from x-axis is 7.
