The Y-coordinate of P is 4 or -4.
Explanation:
We know that the length of the perpendicular from the point to the Y axis is equal to the opposite side and the length of the opposite side is equal to the X coordinate. The perpendicular distance of a point from the Y-axis indicates the x-coordinate of that point. Here, the perpendicular foot lies in the negative direction of the Y-axis, so that the perpendicular distance can be measured in the II or III quadrants. Thus, point P has Y-coordinate = 4 or -4.
