Which point is closer to the x-axis (0.7, 21) or (0.77, 10)

As

Therefore, point B is closer to the x-axis.

Please check the attached graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Given the points

Let us say

FOR POINT A(0, 7)

We know that the y-coordinate of  any point P(x, y) gives its distance of that point from the x-axis

Thus, the distance of point A(0.7, 21) from the y-axis is 21 units.

i.e.

FOR POINT B(0.77, 10)

We know that the y-coordinate of  any point P(x, y) gives its distance of that point from the x-axis

Thus, the distance of point B(0, 7) from the y-axis is 10 units.

i.e.

As

Therefore, point B is closer to the x-axis.

Please check the attached graph.

y > 1/3x

y < = -x + 4

hope this : )

hope this is what you were asking for!
