Detailed Solution

Given point is P(4, 8).
We know that, if the coordinates of a point are (x, y), then the distance of the point from y-axis is | x | units and distance from x-axis is | y | units.
Here, we need to find the distance of P(4, 8) from y-axis.
Therefore, distance from y-axis = | x-coordinate | = 4 units.
The correct option is (1).
