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

To find this, use the distance formula. D= square root over... (x2-x1)^2+ (y2-y1)^2. Now plug in your coordinates.
D= square root... (4- -7)^2+ (-5-3)^2. Simplify. 4- -7=11 (two neg= positive) -5 -3= -8. So,
D= square root... 11^2+ -8^2. Simplify. 11^2= 121. And -8^2=64. Now just take the square root after adding. 121+64= 185. And the square root of 185 isn’t a whole number, so your final answer is D= (square root over) 185. Hope this helps
