What is the perpendicular distance of the point A (7, -4) from (i) x-axis (ii) y-axis?

Open in App

Solution

The perpendicular distance of the point from x-axis measured along Y-axis is ordinate of the point. So, 4 units from the x-axis.

The perpendicular distance of the point from y-axis measured along X-axis is abscissa of the point. So, 7 units from the y-axis.
