1. Identify the coordinates:
   - $$ x_1 = -10 $$, $$ y_1 = 8 $$
   - $$ x_2 = -3 $$, $$ y_2 = 8 $$

2. Use the distance formula:
   $$
   d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
   $$

3. Substitute the values:
   $$
   d = \sqrt{(-3 - (-10))^2 + (8 - 8)^2} = \sqrt{(7)^2 + (0)^2}
   $$

4. Calculate the result:
   $$
   d = \sqrt{49} = 7.0
   $$

The distance between the points is $$ 7.0 $$.
The distance between the points is 7.0.
