Given point P (3, 4). What is the distance of point P from (a) x axis (b) y axis?

Hi!

To find the distance of the point from each axis, all we have to do is look at the x and the y coordinates of the points. If we wanted to find the distance that point P was from the x axis, we would look at our y - coordinate:

(x, y) = (3, 4) So, point P is 4 units away from the x -axis.

Now we need to look at the x - coordinate to find the distance that point P is from the y axis:

(x, y) = (3, 4) So, point P is 3 units away from the y - axis.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
