Choose the correct answer from the given four options in the following questions: The distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis is (A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 1 (D) 5

Solution:

Option (B) 3 is the correct answer.

We all know that,

On the Cartesian plane (x, y) is a point in first quadrant.

Then,

Perpendicular distance from Y–axis = x, and

Perpendicular distance from X–axis = y

As a result, the perpendicular distance from X-axis = y coordinate = 3
