Answer:
√(10)\ units

Explanation:

You need to use the following formula:


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Given the points (-3, 2) and (0, 3), you can identify that:


x_2=-3\\x_1=0\\\\y_2=2\\y_1=3

Then, the final step is to substitutes these coordinates into the formula.

So, the distance between the given points is:


d=√((-3-0)^2+(2-3)^2)\\\\d=√(10)\ units
