Question

Find the perpendicular distance between $(3,4)$ from $x$ and $y$ axis.

Answer 1

Given point is $(3,4)$
$x-coordinate=3$

$y-coordinate=4$

Perpendicular distance from $x$ axis $=y-coordinate=4$

Perpendicular distance from $y$ axis $=x-coordinate=3$

When any of the coordinates are negative, only their absolute value is considered.
