Answer:

The answer is 5 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula


d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^(2) + ({y1 - y2})^(2) } \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-4, 4) & (-1, 0)

The distance between them is


d = \sqrt{ ({ - 4 + 1})^(2) + ({4 - 0})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 3})^(2) + {4}^(2) } \\ = √(9 + 16) \\ = √(25) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 5 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:

We have the final answer as

5 units

Hope this helps you
