The distance between points $ A $ and $ B $ is :
$$ d(A, B) = \sqrt{ 346 } $$To find distance between points $ A(x_1,y_1)$ and $ B(x_2,y_2)$, we use formula:
$$ \color{blue}{ d(A,B) = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2} } $$In this example we have:
$$ \begin{aligned} & A \left(8,~3\right) \implies x_1 = 8 ~~\text{and}~~ y_1 = 3 \\[1 em] & B \left(-7,~-8\right) \implies x_2 = -7 ~~\text{and}~~ y_2 = -8 \end{aligned} $$Substituting $ x_1 $, $ x_2 $, $ y_1 $ and $ y_2 $ into the formula above yields:
$$ \begin{aligned} d(A,B) & = \sqrt{\left( -7 - 8 \right)^2 + \left( -8 - 3 \right)^2} \\[1 em] d(A,B) & = \sqrt{ (-15)^2 + (-11)^2 } \\[1 em] d(A,B) & = \sqrt{ 225 + 121 } \\[1 em] d(A,B) & = \sqrt{ 346 } \\[1 em] d(A,B) & = \sqrt{ 346 } \end{aligned} $$
