Question

What is the distance between `(1, -3)` and `(-2, 4)`?

Answer 1

`sqrt(58)`

Explanation:

`(1,-3)` and `(-2,4)`

So the distance formula is:

`d=sqrt((y2-y1)^2+(x2-x1)^2)`

Plug in the `x` and `y` values.
It should look like this:

`d=sqrt((4+3)^2+(-2-1)^2)`

Solve.
First, work in the parenthesis.
`sqrt((7)^2+(-3)^2)`
Then, do the rest.
`sqrt(49+9)`
`sqrt(58)`
