Answer:

the distance between the two points (-8,-3) and (-1,4) is 7sqrt(2) units.

Explanation:

We can use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points:

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

Let's substitute the given coordinates:

d = sqrt((-1 - (-8))^2 + (4 - (-3))^2)

d = sqrt(7^2 + 7^2)

d = sqrt(2 x 7^2)

d = 7sqrt(2)

Therefore, the distance between the two points (-8,-3) and (-1,4) is 7sqrt(2) units.
