Question

Which of the points listed is the same distance from the x-axis as the point (7, 8.75)? CLEAR CHECK (?7, 5.25) (8.75, 6) (6, ?8.75) None of these choices are correct.

Answer 1

(6,8.75)

Explanation:

we know that

The distance from the x-axis to the point (7,8.75) is equal to the y-coordinate of the point

so

The distance is 8.75 units

therefore

All ordered pairs that have 8.75 as y coordinate, will be at the same distance from the x axis that the given point
