Question

(4, 6) is 6 units from ______.

विकल्प

• origin

• x axis

• y axis

• cannot say

Answer 1

(4, 6) is 6 units from x axis.

Explanation:

To find what the point (4, 6) is 6 units from, let’s analyse:

The distance from the x-axis is given by the y-coordinate, which is 6.

Distance from origin = `sqrt(4^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(16 + 36) = sqrt52` = 7.2, not 6.

Distance from y-axis = x-coordinate = 4 not 6.
