On a coordinate plane, point A is 4 units to the left and 3 units up. Point B is 4 units to the left and 3 units down.

How many units away are each of the points from the y-axis?

point A is 3 units above the y axis and point B is 3 units below the y axis, so they are both 3 units away from the y axis.
