Answer:

A) 52 units

Explanation:

The length of a line joining 2 points on a number line is given by the difference between the co-ordinates of the 2 points.

Therefore PQ=
$\left ( Q \right )-\left ( P \right )= \left ( -24 \right )-\left ( -76 \right )= 52$

Hence the length of the line is 52 units
