What is the distance between (8, -3)and (4,−7)?

+4sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the horizontal distance is 8 - 4, or 4 (which is the "run") and that the vertical distance is -3 - (-7), or 4 (which is the "rise").  Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, we get:

distance = length of hypotenuse = +sqrt(4^2 + 4^2) = +4sqrt(2)

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
