Answer:

11 units

Explanation:

You want the distance between the points (-4, 4) and (7, 4).

Horizontal line

The y-values are the same for the two given points, telling you this is a horizontal line. That means the length of it is the difference of the x-coordinates:

7 -(-4) = 11

The distance between the two points is 11 units.

Additional comment

You are welcome to draw your own graph when one is not provided. You can also use the distance formula:

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

d = √((7 -(-4))² +(4 -4)²) = √(11² +0) = 11
