You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For both coordinates, x = -4, meaning it is a straight line that goes vertical.
.
To solve this all you have to do is subtract both the y-coordinates.

7 - (-3)
= 7 + 3
= 10

Therefore, AB has a length of 10 units.

I used Desmos to plot the points on a graph. This may be helpful for future problems like this.
