The distance from the x -axis to point P is half the distance from the y -axis to point P . If the coordinates of P are ( x , - 7), how many units is P from the y -axis?
3.5
7
9.8
10.5
14
3.5
7
9.8
10.5
14
P(x,-7)
distance from y-axis = x
distance from x-axis = -7.
-7 = x/2
thus x = -14
or P is 14 units from y-axis.
IMO E
