Find the distance from point B (-6; -3) to the Oy axis.

The distance from the point with coordinates B (-6; -3) to the OY axis is the module of the first coordinate of this point.

Let’s find the modulus of a negative number (- 6). Distance can only be a positive number

l- 6l = 6.

Answer: the distance from point B to the OY axis is 6 linear units.
