Question

What will be the perpendicular distance of a point P (5, 8) from the x-axis and y-axis?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that coordinates of any point represent the perpendicular distance from the axis

In a plane,x-coordinates (absicca) represent perpendicular distance from y-axis and y coordinates (ordinate) represent perpendicular distance from x-axis

Given point is (5,8) and its x-coordinates(abscissa) is 5

There for perpendicular distance of point p(5,8) from y-axis is 5 unit
