Q12 of 46 Page 25

If the perpendicular distance of a point P from the x-axis is 5 units and the foot of the perpendicular lies on the negative direction of x-axis, then the point P has

Perpendicular distance from x-axis = Ordinate = 5

The negative direction of x-axis doesn’t decide the sign of the ordinate.


(D) y-coordinate = 5 or -5.
