To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following two points given in the exercise above:

Points: (-3,5) and (2,7)

2. Therefore, to calculate the distance between these two points, you must apply the distance formula, which is:

d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

3. When you substitute the values, you obtain:

d=√(2-(-3))²+(7-5)²
d=√29

The answer is: √29
