using distance formula
$d=sqrt17$

distance formula: $d=sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)$

where $x1=23$

$y1=-3$

$x2=24$

$y2=-7$

putting all these values in the formula above

$d=sqrt((24-23)^2+(-7+3)^2$

simplifying

$d=sqrt((1)^2+(-4)^2$
$d=sqrt(1+16$
$d=sqrt17$

What is the distance between (23,-3)(23,-3) and (24,-7)(24,-7)?
