Answer:

[tex]4\sqrt{2}[/tex] which is none of your choices....

Did you mean (8,-3) and (4,-7)?

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the distance between the x's.

Then the distance between the y's.

The distance between the x's is 8-4=4.

The distance between the y's is -3-(-7)=4.

So the distance between two points [tex](x_1,y1)\text{ and }(x_2,y_2)[/tex] is [tex]\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex].

So we already found x1-x2 and y1-y2 so now we have:

[tex]\sqrt{(4)^2+(4)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{16+16}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{2(16)[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]4\sqrt{2}[/tex]
