In analytical geometry, you can find the distance between two points situated on the same plane using the distance formula. The equation is
d = √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2]
This can be applied by first applying which is point 1 or point 2. Technically, it does not matter which is which, as long as you are consistent in pairing of the x,y coordinates. In this case, point 1 is (3,7) and point 2 is (x1,y1). Therefore, when you substitute the values, the distance would be
d = √[(x1-3)^2+(y1-7)^2]
The statement is TRUE.
