Answer by Edwin McCravy(20054) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

The little circle on the left is the point (-3,1) and the
little circle on the right is the point (2,1).
Now we draw a red line between them:

And we count the blocks on the grid between them and we
count that there are 5 of them.
So the horizontal distance between (-3,1) and (2,1) is 5 units.
---------------------------------------------
(2) Horizontal distance from (-3,1) to y-axis.
Now we start at point (-3,1)

and draw a red line over to the y-axis

and count the blocks and see that thereare 3 of them.
