What is the distance of the point P(x, y) from y axis? Wht does this even mean?

The x value

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the question is asking you to find the straight line distance from the y axis to a given point. The y-axis on a coordinate plane is the axis that goes up and down, and the x axis is the one that goes left and right. In a coordinate pair (x,y), x is how far left or right the point is and y is how far up or down it is. so the point (3,9) is three to the right and three up. (See screenshot)

So, the distance that (3,9) would be from the y-axis would be how far right it is, or x, which is 3!

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
