Given Coordinates: x1 = 8 y1 = 3, x2 = -7 y2 = -7
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-7 − 8)2 + (-7 − 3)2
d = √(-15)2 + (-10)2
d = √225 + 100
d = √325
d = √25 * 13
d = √25 * √13
d = 5√13
Therefore, the distance between the points (8, 3) and (-7, -7) is equal to 5√13
Note: As a decimal number, 5√13 ≈ 18.02775637732
