subtract 3-4 from zero to get it into a even number then once you have that answer you will subtract the answer that you got from 5,7 and then you will find you're answer

Answer:

Option B
8.54\ units


Explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to



d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^(2)+(x2-x1)^(2)}


Let


A(5,7)\\E(-3.4)

substitute the values



dAB=\sqrt{(4-7)^(2)+(-3-5)^(2)}



dAB=\sqrt{(-3^(2)+(-8)^(2)}



dAB=√(73)=8.54\ units
