Question:
The distance of point \((a, -b)\) from the \(x\)-axis is
The distance of point \((a, -b)\) from the \(x\)-axis is
Show Hint
The distance from the \(x\)-axis is the absolute value of the \(y\)-coordinate.

- \(a\)
- \(-a\)
- \(b\)
- \(-b\)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The distance of any point \((x, y)\) from the \(x\)-axis is \(|y|\)
So, distance of \((a, -b)\) = \(|-b| = b\)
