Answer:
distance between the points is 8.602325267 units
Step-by-step explanation:
(5 , 8)=(x1 , y1)
(-2 , 3)=(x2 , y2)
use formula:[tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{(-2-5)^2 + (3-8)^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{(-7)^2 + (-5)^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{49 + 25}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{74[/tex]
=8.602325267 units
