Options

• 3

• 4

• 5

• 7

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

The distance of any point (x, y) from the x-axis is given by the absolute value of its y-coordinate.

Step 1: Identify the given point

The coordinates of point A are (-3, -4).

Step 2: Apply the distance formula

Distance from x-axis = y

Step 3: Substitute the values

Distance = −4

= 4
