Solution
The distance of the point P(2, 3) from the x-axis is 3.
Explanation:
We know that,
(x, y) is a point on the cartesian plane in first quadrant.
Then,
x = Perpendicular distance from Y-axis and
y = Perpendicular distance from X-axis
Therefore, the perpendicular distance from X-axis = y coordinate = 3
