What is the distance between the points (5, 7) and (-3, 4) on the coordinate plane?

Answer:
Option B [tex]8.54\ units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to
[tex]d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}[/tex]
Let
[tex]A(5,7)\\E(-3.4)[/tex]
substitute the values
[tex]dAB=\sqrt{(4-7)^{2}+(-3-5)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]dAB=\sqrt{(-3^{2}+(-8)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]dAB=\sqrt{73}=8.54\ units[/tex]
