Answer with explanation:

The two points on the number line are

  x = -4

  y=3

The distance is a positive Quantity.

So, Distance between x and y can be written as:

  =|x-y| or |y-x|

 =|3-(-4)| or |-4-3|

 =|3+4| or |-7|

 =|7| or |-7|

 =7 Units

The expression will be : =|x-y| or |y-x|

 =|3-(-4)| or |-4-3|
