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,-4), how many units is P from the y-axis?  Select the correct option: A) 2 B) 4 C) 8 D) 10 E) 12
The x-axis is 4 units from the point P.   Thus the y-axis is 8 units from the point P.   The answer is 8.
