Dear Student,

For the coordinates of any point of the form (x,y), 'x' represents the perpendicular distance of the point from the y-axis, while 'y' represents the perpendicular distance of the point from the x-axis
Therefore, for the point P(5,7), its perpendicular distance from the y-axis is 5 units
