Solution
The correct option is D 11 units Detailed step-by-step solution:
The y−coordinate of point A and point B has the same value 6.
So, we will count the number of boxes starting from 2 to the left side up to −9, or we can count the number of boxes starting from −9 to right side up to 2, i.e., 11 units.
Therefore, the distance between the two given points is 11 units.
