choose the correct answer

The perpendicular distance of a point from x axis is 7 units and foot of the perpendicular lies on the negative side of x axis.then for foot of the perpendicular ______

1. x coordinate = -7
2. y coordinate = 7
3. x coordinate = 7
4. y coordinate = -7

We know that y - coordinate of a point is its perpendicular distance from the x - axis measured along the y - axis (positive along the positive direction of the y - axis and negative along the negative direction of the y - axis).

Thus, here the answer is y - coordinate = 7.
