Given the point:
(x, y) ==> (9, 8)
Let's find the distance from the point to the vertical axis of the graph.
The vertical axis of a graph is the y-axis.
Hence, the distance from any pointy to the vertical axis is the unit of the x-coordinate of the point.
From the given point, we have:
x-coordinate = 9
y-coordinate = 8
The x-coordinate of the point is 9.
Therefore, the distance from the given point (9, 8) to the vertical axis (y-axis) is 9 units
ANSWER:
9 units
