Explanation
Given, the point $$P(3,-5)$$.
We know, in the $$xy$$-plane, any point is of the form $$(x,y)$$, where $$x,y$$ can be any number.
The $$x$$-coordinate or the abscissa is the perpendicular distance of $$P$$ from the $$y$$-axis.
Also, the $$y$$-coordinate or the ordinate is the perpendicular distance of $$P$$ from the $$x$$-axis.
Here, $$3$$ is the abscissa which is the perpendicular distance of $$P$$ from the $$y$$-axis.
Hence, option $$C$$ is correct.
