The distance of the point (3, 5) from the y-axis is 5.
Options
True
False
Advertisements
Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
We know that the x-coordinate of a point represents the distance of the point from y-axis. Here x-coordinate is 3, so the distance of the point (3, 5) from the y-axis is 3.
