Question

Which of the points listed is the same distance from the yy-axis as the point (-1.5, 6)-1.5, 6?

Answer 1

It is 1.5 left from the y axis

Answer 2

-(1.5, -3)
think of the y axis intercepting the x axis at coordinates (0,0)
-they then said their point is 1.5 left of the y axis

-now all you have to do is to find another x value of that same distance (x,y)
