Answer: C. |-4 - 3|

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -4

y = 3

The distance between them is the difference. The mathematical operation for difference is subtraction.

Distance is a unit of measurement. Measurements cannot be negative so the absolute value sign is used to ensure the difference is positive.
