Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two points are straight left and right from each other it's really easy.  Think of it as just moving so many spaces left or right on the x axis.  We are moving from point (-5,5) along the line y=5 to the point (2,5), which is moving 7 units.
