Answer:

A

Explanation:

Since the y-coordinates, 3, are the same, we only need to focus on the x-coordinates.

There are no negative distances, so you can cross out C.

The difference between the two x-coordinates is 8.

-4-4 is not correct.

One coordinate is positive and the other is negative, so we need to use absolute value, the distance from 0.

The distance from -4 to 0 is 4. The distance from 4 to 0 is 4.

|-4| + |4| = 4 + 4 = 8

A is the correct answer

Hope this helps :)
