A coordinate grid shows the x-axis ranging from negative 10 to 10 and the y-axis also ranging from negative 10 to 10. Points A, B, C, D, and E are plotted. Point B is plotted at left parenthesis 7 comma 3 right parenthesis. Point E is plotted at left parenthesis 7 comma 10 right parenthesis. Point C is plotted at left parenthesis negative 8 comma 3 right parenthesis. Point D is plotted at left parenthesis negative 8 comma negative 3 right parenthesis, and point A is plotted at left parenthesis negative 8 comma negative 10 right parenthesis.

To find the total distance Jing ran, we need to calculate the distance between points E and B.
Using the distance formula, we have:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
For points E(7, 10) and B(7, 3), we have:
Distance = √((7 - 7)^2 + (3 - 10)^2)
Simplifying, we get:
Distance = √((0)^2 + (-7)^2)
Distance = √(0 + 49)
Distance = √49
Distance = 7
Therefore, the total distance Jing ran from point E to B is 7 units.
