Because if you use the distance formula (sqr root y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2 you would find the answer of if you were talking about the hypotenuse 49, 5 because if you were talking about just the distance between the y-axis you would find out it would be 5, 0 because if it was for the x axis, it would be 0 because they have the same coordinate for the x axis
