The distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis is(A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 1 (D) 5
Question
The distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis is(A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 1 (D) 5
Solution
The distance of a point from the x-axis in a 2D plane is given by the absolute value of the y-coordinate of the point.
In this case, the point P is (2, 3). So, the y-coordinate is 3.
Therefore, the distance of the point P from the x-axis is 3.
So, the correct answer is (B) 3.
