Solution
The point (3, 4) is at a distance of 4 from the x-axis and 3 from y-axis.
Explanation:
We know that, the x-coordinate is the distance of the point from y-axis and that of y-coordinate is the distance from x-axis.
Hence, the point (3, 4) is at a distance of 4 from the x-axis and 3 from y-axis.
