Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the distance between two points, you find the difference between the x values, square that, find the difference between the y values, square that, add the two numbers you got, and then find the square root.

We find the difference between the x values.

-7-2=-9

Square it.

-9²=81

We find the difference between the y-values.

5--3

5+3=8

We square it.

8²=64

We add the numbers we got.

81+64=145

We square root.

√145≈12.04

This formula comes from the Pythagorean Theorem! Now you can find the distance between any two points! Have a wonderful day! :D
