Question

what is the distance from point a and point a to each of the axes? point a is from the x - axis. point a is from the x - axis.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the y - coordinate of point A

The distance of a point \((x,y)\) from the \(x\) - axis is given by the absolute value of its \(y\) - coordinate. For point \(A\), assume its coordinates are \((x_1,y_1)\). By observing the graph, the \(y\) - coordinate of point \(A\) is \(1\). So the distance from point \(A\) to the \(x\) - axis is \(|y_1| = 1\).

Step2: Determine the y - coordinate of point \(A'\)

For point \(A'\), assume its coordinates are \((x_2,y_2)\). By observing the graph, the \(y\) - coordinate of point \(A'\) is \(1\). So the distance from point \(A'\) to the \(x\) - axis is \(|y_2|=1\).

Answer:

Point \(A\) is \(1\) unit from the \(x\) - axis. Point \(A'\) is \(1\) unit from the \(x\) - axis.
