What is the distance of the point P(x, y) from y axis? Wht does this even mean?

The x value

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the question is asking you to find the straight line distance from the y axis to a given point. The y-axis on a coordinate plane is the axis that goes up and down, and the x axis is the one that goes left and right. In a coordinate pair (x,y), x is how far left or right the point is and y is how far up or down it is. so the point (3,9) is three to the right and three up. (See screenshot)

So, the distance that (3,9) would be from the y-axis would be how far right it is, or x, which is 3!

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
