Fill in the Blank

A machinist is programming a CNC mill to cut an elliptical component defined by the equation (x+3)24+(y5)216=1\frac{(x+3)^2}{4} + \frac{(y-5)^2}{16} = 1. To verify the part's dimensions, the machinist identifies the distance from the center point (3,5)(-3, 5) to the endpoints of the minor axis along the horizontal axis. Based on the denominator under the xx-term, this distance is ____ units.
