Find the distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis.

Open in App

Solution

We know that,
(x, y) = (2, 3) is a point on the Cartesian plane in the first quadrant.
x= Perpendicular distance from y-axis
y = Perpendicular distance from x-axis
Therefore, the perpendicular distance from x-axis = y coordinate = 3
