Answer:

Distance between the points is 8.94 units

Explanation:

General formula:


{ \boxed{ \bf{distance = \sqrt{ {(x_(1) - x _(2) )}^(2) + {(y _(1) - y _(2) ) }^(2) } }}}

substitute:


{ \sf{ = \sqrt{ {(5 - ( - 3))}^(2) + {(8 - 4)}^(2) } }} \\ = { \sf{ √(64 + 16) }} \\ = { \sf{ √(80) }} \\ = 8.94 \: units
