Alan found the distance between point A(-8,-4) and point B(3,-4).
His work is shown below.
-8 to the y-axis = 8 units
3 to the y-axis = 3 units
(parentheses will mean absolute value signs)
(-8) - (3) = 5 units from point A to B.

What error did Alan make? What is the actual distance from point A to point B?
