Answer: 14

Explanation:

Whenever you're looking at a number line, you're going to often see negative and positive numbers. -10 is a negative number (due to the hyphen on the left of the number) so that would be 10 numbers below 0. Negative numbers are opposite from positive numbers. For the distance of these two numbers, you're going to count the numbers; starting from -10, -9, -8, until you reach 0, then you can count the positive spaces and the distance would be 14.
