If the perpendicular distance of a point P from the x-axis is 5 unit then the point P has
x-co-ordinate = -5
y-co-ordinate = 5 only
y-co-ordinate = -5 only
y-co-ordinate = 5 or -5

Answer
As we know that the distance of a point from the X-axis is the absolute value of its y-coordinate.
So, if perpendicular distance of a point from the x-axis is 5 units. Then the y-coordinate can be 5 or -5.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
