Question

What is the distance between Y axis and line X=-3

Answer 1

Distance between y-axis and line x= -3 is 3.

Explanation:

given : Y-axis and line x = -3

We have to find the distance between y-axis and x = -3.

We first plot x = -3 on graph.

Coordinate of any point on x = -3 is of the form
`(x_1,y_1)=(-3, y)`

y-axis is the line where coordinate of x is 0 and is of form
`(x_2,y_2)=(0, y)`

Distance between Y-axis and line X = -3 is
`(x_2-x_1)=0-(-3)=3`

Thus, Distance between y-axis and line x= -3 is 3.
