Question

If the distance of a point is 3 units and 4 units from x-axis and y-axis respectively, then the coordinates of this point is

• A.
  (3, 4)
• B.
  (4, 3)
• C.
  (4, 0)
• D.
  (8, 3)

Answer 1

The correct option is B

(4, 3)
Let the point be P(x, y).


Since, the distance of point P from the x-axis is 3 units and from the y-axis is 4 units.
$\therefore y=3\text{and}x=4$

Therefore, the coordinates of the point is (4, 3).

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
