Solution
The correct option is A 7 units
The first point is (-5, -3) and the second point is (2, 3).
The coordinates are in different quadrants.
They have same y-coordinates and different x-coordinates.
The distance between the points is the sum of the absolute values of the x-coordinates.
Absolute value of -5 = |-5| = 5
Distance between the points = 5 + 2 = 7
Hence, the length of the rope needed is 7 units.
