The distance of the point P (−3,−4) from the x-axis (in units) is
Thx …yogita ?
When we are asked to calculate the distance between a point and any of the axes, we calculate the perpendicular distance between them.Therefore, the point (-3,4) is 3 units away from the y-axis and 4 units from the x-axis. This is because in case of either axes the co-ordinate of the other axis is zero.Therefore the distance between the point P(-3,4) and x-axis is 4 units.
4 units
I think answer should be 5 units
Sorry
The distance of the point P(-3,-4) from the x-axis is
4
-4..
