Question

Question 1
The distance of the point P(2,3) from the x - axis is:
(A) 2
(B) 3
(C) 1
(D) 5

Answer 1

We know that (x,y) is any point on the cartesian plane in the first quadrant.
Then, x = Perpendicular distance from Y-axis
And y = Perpendicular distance from X-axis

Distance of the point P(2,3) from the X-axis = Ordinate of a point P(2,3) = 3.
