Question

The distance of the point A($-3$, $-4$) from x-axis is

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 7

Hint:

To find distance from x-axis, take absolute value of y-coordinate.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Given:
Point \( A(-3, -4) \)

To Find: Distance of point A from the x-axis

Concept:
The distance of a point \((x, y)\) from the x-axis is the absolute value of its y-coordinate.

Step:
\[ \text{Distance from x-axis} = |y| = |-4| = 4 \text{ units} \]

Final Answer:
The distance of the point from the x-axis is 4 units.
