istance squared = (X2 - X1)^2 + (Y2 - Y1)^2
distance squared = (-2 - 3)^2 + (4 - -2)^2
distance squared = (-5)^2 + (6)^2
distance squared = 25 + 36
distance squared = 61
Therefore; distance = square root of 61 = 7.8 approximately
----
since each unit represents 5 miles:
distance (actual) = 7.8 * 5 = 39 miles
