Answer:I believe it wouldn’t be either.Step-by-step explanation:Distance is the difference between two positions. That is x1- x2 Since both numbers were negative, you would want the absolute value of one plus the other, because subtracting negative results in a positive. For this example the distance would look more like this:| -4.7 – ( -3.9 ) | = .8
