Vedclass · Answer

(D) The coordinates of the given point are $(x, y) = (-3, 8)$.In a Cartesian coordinate system,the perpendicular distance of any point $(x, y)$ from the $Y$-axis is given by the absolute value of its $x$-coordinate,i.e.,$|x|$.Here,the $x$-coordinate is $-3$.Therefore,the perpendicular distance from the $Y$-axis is $|-3| = 3$.Thus,the correct option is $D$.

The perpendicular distance of the point $(-3, 8)$ from the $Y$-axis is........
