(3,7) (-2,-5)
X DISTANCE=3+2=5 UNITS.
Y DISTANCE=7+5=12 UNITS.
5^2+12^2=D^2
25+144=D62
169=D^2
D=SQRT169
D=13 IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THESE POINTS.

distance between 2 points in coordinate geometry is determined by the formula
where y is the straight line distance between the 2 points.
x2-x1 is the horizontal distance between the 2 points along the x-axis.
y2-y1 is the vertical distance between the 2 points along the y-axis.
for the points (3,7) and (-2,-5)
x2-x1 = -2-3 = -5
y2-y1 becomes -5-7 = -12
z = 13 is your answer.
a graph of the line z would look like this.
