Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to work out this question algebraically without kind of guessing the answer from a diagram? Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
The distance of a point from the x-axis is the absolute value of the y value; the distance of a point from the y-axis is the absolute value of the x value. So if a point is equidistant from the x-axis and y-axis, then
