Construct a line from A perpendicular to the y-axis, determine the distance from A to the y-axis along this perpendicular line, find a new point on the other side of the y-axis that is equidistant from the y-axis.
To determine the distance between point A and the x‐axis, you must find the intersection of a line perpendicular to the y-axis through point A. The line x = −2 intersects with the x‐axis at (−2, 0), not (−2, 2); therefore, this option is incorrect.
