Answer:

2 units

Explanation:

The length of VW is just the distance between the two coordinates. You could use the distance formula, or an easier and faster way would be to recognize that since both points have the same y-coordinate, the distance between them will just be the distance of the x-coordinates. The absolute value of -4 and -2 is 2, so the length of VW is 2 units.

Hope this helped! ;)
