Answer:


  • \sf{\red{√(149) }}


\\

Explanation:


\\

We are given two points:


\\


\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf (x_(1), y_(1))= (-7,3) \\ \\


\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf (x_(2),y_(2)) = (10,3) \\ \\

Using distance formula,


\\


\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf D = {\sqrt {(x_(2) -x_(1))^2 + (y_(2) -y_(1))^2}} \\ \\


\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf D = \sqrt{{ \{(3 - ( - 7)} \}^(2) + (3 - 10)^(2) } \\ \\


\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf D = \sqrt{(10)^(2) + {( - 7)}^(2) } \\ \\


\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf D = √(100 + 49) \\ \\


\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf \red{D = √(149) } \\ \\

Hence,
