So, I have this coordinate geometry problem:

A base of a parallelogram is on the x-axis and the origin is located at the left endpoint of that base. Three consecutive vertices are (h, j), (0, 0), and (k, 0), where h 0

How many units to the right of the y-axis is the point (h, j)?

I have no clue how to figure this out. (It's a fill in the blank)

Also.. How many units to the right of a vertical line through (k, 0) must the fourth vertex be? Could you explain that too?
