Answer: approximately 7.07

Explanation:

The distance formula is
d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2). Since we are given teo points, we can plug them in and solve.


d=√((4-3)^2+(0-(-7))^2) [parenthesis]


d=√((1)^2+(7)^2) [exponent]


d=√(1+49) [add]


d=√(50) [square root]


d=7.07

The distance is approximately 7.07.
