Question

The perpendicular distance of point P(7,3) from the y-axis is ___.

• A. 3 units
• B. 7 units
• C. 0 units
• D. 4 units

Answer 1

The correct option is B 7 units

The perpendicular distance of the point P(7,3) from y-axis is the abscissa or the x-coordinate of the point.
Here the abscissa is 7, so the distance of point P(7,3) from y-axis is 7 units.
