Answer:

6.3246 or 2√10 or √40

Explanation:

hypotenuse

distance formula is

√[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

√[(3 - -3)² + (-5 - -7)²]

√[(6)² + (2)²]

√36 + 4

√40

on a graph

the distance between points is the

hypotenuse of a triangle

you can use the

pythagorean theorem

plot those 2 points

it makes a triangle

on an online graph paper

like desmos its

2 up and 6 across

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 + 6^2 = c^2

4 + 36 = c^2

c^2 = 40

c = √40
