Answer: 11 units

Explanation:

The distance between points P(a,b) and Q(c,d) is given by :-

d=√((d-b)^2+(c-a)^2)

Similarly , the distance between the two points (-7,5) and (4,5) is given by :-

$d=√((5-5)^2+(4-(-7))^2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=√(0+(11)^2)=11$

Hence, the the distance between the two points = 11 units
