2 units the vertices are (-1,-5) etc… so the only correct answer could be 2 if all sides of the rectangle are equal except the shorter side

Answer:

2 units

Explanation:

It helps to graph it. You can also tell because -5 and -7 are 2 units apart while -1 and 3 are 4 units so the rectangle is 2x4.
