Question

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

Answer 1

The perpendicular distance from one point to the x axis is always equal to the value of y co-ordinate

therefore

Perpendicular distance from (5,-7) to the x axis is

7 units.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

you know sir ne bataya tha ki agar Hume y axis ka distance Lena ho to x- coordinate lete h
aur agar x - axis ka distance bataya ho to y-coordinate lete h

so your answer is equal to y coordinate = 7 units
