Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Here's how to find the distance between any two points.

Find the difference of the x values.

-5-7=-12

Square it.

-12²=144

Find the difference of the y values.

6-3=3

Square that.

3²=9

Add the two numbers we got.

144+9=153

√153≈ 12.37.

Have a wonderful day! :D
