Answer:
[tex]\boxed{D = 8.5 \ units}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates are (5,7) and (-3,4)
Distance Formula = [tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}[/tex]
D = [tex]\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(4-7)^2}[/tex]
D = [tex]\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-3)^2}[/tex]
D = [tex]\sqrt{64+9}[/tex]
D = [tex]\sqrt{73}[/tex]
D = 8.5 units
