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 [Solution diagram: 267954_solution_1.png]
