Answer:


\\A. |4+3|\ , E. |-4-3|

Explanation:


We\ know\ that,\\Distance\ between\ two\ points\ on\ the\ graph= √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) \\Here,\\Point\ 1=(-3,0)\\Point\ 2=(4,0)\\Hence,\\Distance\ between\ Point\ 1\ and\ 2\ =√((4-(-3))^2+(0-0)^2)\\ Hence,\\Distance\ between\ Point\ 1\ and\ 2\ =√((4-(-3))^2)\\Distance\ between\ Point\ 1\ and\ 2\ =(4-(-3)\\=4+3\\As\ |-4-3|\ and\ |4+3|\ are\ absolute, they\ can\ be\ additively\ equal\ to\ each\ other.\\Hence,\\|-4-3|=|4+3|
