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,-5), how many units is P from the y-axis?
Choose the correct option
A) 2.5 B) 5 C) 7.5 D) 10 E) 12
The x-axis is 5 units from the point P.   Thus the y-axis is 10 units from the point P.   The answer is 10.
