$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ -4}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -7}}) \end{array}\qquad % distance value d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2} \\\\\\ d=√([2-6]^2+[-7-(-4)]^2)\implies d=√((2-6)^2+(-7+4)^2)$
