Answer:


\left|P_1P_2\right|=d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Explanation:

Let the coordinates of the given point are as follows,


P_1=(x_1,y_1)\:\:and\:\:P_2=(x_2,y_2)

Now The distance between point
P_1\:\:andP_2 is given by,


\left|P_1P_2\right|=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Therefore,
\left|P_1P_2\right|=d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)
