Solution
The coordinates of a point at a distance of 3 units from the x axis and 6 units from the y axis is (6, 3).
Explanation:
We know that, the x-coordinate is the distance of the point from y-axis and the y-coordinate is the distance of the point from x-axis.
Hence, the coordinates of the required point are (6, 3).
