The point (3, 5) is at minimum distance from which axis?
The point (3, 5) is at minimum distance from which axis?
Explanation
The point (3, 5) has x = 3 and y = 5.
The distance of the point from the x-axis is equal to the y-coordinate (which is 5).
The distance of the point from the y-axis is equal to the x-coordinate (which is 3).
Since 3 (the distance from the y-axis) is smaller than 5 (the distance from the x-axis), the point (3, 5) is at the minimum distance from the y-axis.
