Answer: 7

Explanation:

To find the distance between the two point, we simply use this formular:

D = √ (x₂ -x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

x₁ = -4 y₁ =3 x₂=-4 y₂ = -4

D = √(-4-[-4])² + (-4-3)²

(-4-[-4])²= (-4+4)²=(0)²=0

(-4-3)² = 49

D = √0+49

D= √49

The square root of 49 is 7

D=7

Therefore the distance between (-4 3) and (-4 -4) is 7
