Answer:

Distance between A and B is 10 units.

Explanation:

Distance between two points (x, y) and (x', y') is represented by

$\sqrt{(x-x')^(2)+(y-y')^(2)}$

and we have to find the distance between points A(-5, 3) and B(5, 3)

So distance AB =
$\sqrt{[5-(-5)]^(2)+(3-3)^(2)}$

AB =
$\sqrt{(10^(2))}=10$

Therefore distance between two points A and B is 10 units.
