Answer

$|z|=\sqrt{58}$ see graph below .

Work Step by Step

See p. 602, Graphing Complex Numbers The complex plane is determined by the real axis and the imaginary axis. To graph the complex number a + bi, we plot the ordered pair of numbers (a,b) in this plane See p. 603, The modulus (or absolute value) of the complex number $z=a+bi$ is $|z|=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}$ ---------- $z=7-3i$ Plot $(a,b)=(7,-3)$ in the complex plane (see image). $|z|=\sqrt{7^{2}+(-3)^{2}}=\sqrt{49+9}=\sqrt{58}$
