Use the distance formula:
d=%28sqrt%28%28x1-x2%29%5E2%2B%28y1-y2%29%5E2%29%29%29
.
d=%28sqrt%28%28-3-4%29%5E2%2B%280-0%29%5E2%29%29%29 [plug-in the values (-3, 0) and (4, 0)and solve]
.
d=%28sqrt%28%28-7%29%5E2%2B%280%29%5E2%29%29%29
.
d=%28sqrt%28%2849%29%2B%280%29%29%29%29
.
d=%28sqrt%28%2849%29%29%29%29
.
d=%287%29%29%29%29
