The distance of the point P(2, 3) from the X-axis is

A) 2 units

B) 3 units

C) 1 units

D) 5 units

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

We know that, if (x, y) is any point on the cartesian plane in first quadrant.

Then, x = Perpendicular distance from Y-axis and y = Perpendicular distance from X-axis

Distance of the point P(2, 3) from the X-axis = Ordinate of a point P( 2, 3) = 3 units.
