find the distance of the point (6,8) from the y-axis
Point (6 , 8) has its coordinates on x-axis at 6 and y-axis at 8.
Thus, its distance from y-axis will be the perpendicular distance from the point to y-axis which will be of 6 units.
Thus, its distance from y-axis will be the perpendicular distance from the point to y-axis which will be of 6 units.
