Question:
The point (3,4) is at a distance of
(a) 3 from both the axes
(b) 4 from both the axes
(c) 4 from the X-axis and 3 from Y-axis
(d) 3 from X-axis and from Y-axis
Solution:
(c) We know that, the x-coordinate is the distance of the point from Y-axis and that of y-coordinate is the distance from X-axis. .
Hence, the point (3,4) is at a distance of 4 from the X-axis and 3 from Y-axis.
