Question

Points A and B have the same x-coordinates but opposite y-coordinates. How many units away are each of the points from the y-axis?​

Answer 1

Answer:

B) 4

Since they both land on the -4 line, I think it's 4 units always from the y-axis.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If you count the units between them, you can see they are 6 units apart. However, to double-check this there is another way to know. The coordinates of A are (-4,3) and the coordinates of B are (-4,-3). Since they have the same x-coordinates, we can add the y-coordinates to see how many units apart they are. Since both the y-coordinates are 3 you can add them together.

3 + 3 = 6

They are 6 units apart! I hope this helps you out!

(If they were on the same y-coordinates you would add the x-coordinates)
