Answer 2

The distance of the point (5, -2) from the y-axis is 5 units.

• A point in the cartesian plane can be located using its coordinates.
• The given point marked as (5, -2) lies in the IV quadrant where the x-axis is positive and the y-axis is negative.
• Now, its distance that is perpendicular to the y-axis will be equal to the value of abscissa or the point's x-coordinate.
• The given point is 5 units away from the y-axis.
