Problem
The distance between two points is the square root of the sum of the squared differences of their coordinates.
Step-by-step solution
The distance formula between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$. For points $(3, 7)$ and $(x_1, y_1)$, the distance is $\sqrt{(x_1-3)^2 + (y_1-7)^2}$. The statement is correct.
