The distance formula takes the difference between the two x-coordinates (9-3 = 6) and the difference between the two y-coordinates (-4-7 = -11), then squares these two answers (62 = 36 and (-11)2 = 121), then adds them together (36 + 121 = 157), then takes the square root of this final number. Thus the distance between (9, -4) and (3, 7) is sqrt(157), or about 12.53.
