The point $(3,2)$ is at a distance of __________ units from y-axis

• A. $2$ units
• B. $3$ units
• C. $5$ units
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$3$ units

For the point $(3,2)$, x - coordinate $=3$ and y - coordinate $=2$.

The point will lie $2$ units above the x-axis and $3$ units to the right of y-axis.

Thus the distance between the point from the y-axis is $3$ units.
