Answer: The length of the given line segment is 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the length of he line segment with endpoints -9 and 7.

We know that

the length of a line segment on the number line with endpoints b and a is given by

$L=(b-a)~\textup{units}.$

Therefore, the length of the given line segment will be

$L=7-(-9)=7+9=16~\textup{units}.$

Thus, the length of the given line segment is 16 units.
