Answer:
22.4722
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question we need to use the distance formula. The distance formula is as follows:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2+(y2 - y1)^2}[/tex]
Now, let's identify what each variable is:
x2 = 13
x1 = -8
y2 = -1
y1 = 7
Next, let's put these into the equation:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(13 - (-8))^2 + (-1 -7)^2}[/tex]
Time to solve the equation:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(21)^2+(-8)^2} \\d = \sqrt{441 + 64} \\d = \sqrt{505} \\d = 22.4722[/tex]
Therefore, the distance between the points of (-8,7) and (13,1) is 22.4722.
I hope this helps!!
