Answer:

17.03 units

Explanation:

The distance formula for the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ...

d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

For the given points, the distance is ...

d = √((8-(-3))^2 +(-6-7)^2) = √(11^2 +(-13)^2)

d = √(121 +169) = √290

d ≈ 17.03

The distance between the points is about 17.03 units.
