Answer: d = 3
√(10)

Explanation:

The formula for calculating distance between to points is given as "

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1)) ^(2)}


x_(1) = 4


x_(2) = 7


y_(1) = 6


y_(2) = -3

substituting the values into the equation:

d =
\sqrt{(7-4)^(2)+(-3-6)^(2)}

d =
\sqrt{(3)^(2)+(-9)^(2)}

d =
√(9+81)

d =
√(90)

d = 3
√(10)
