Hey there!

To find the distance between two points, you'll need to use the distance formula. This formula is the following:
_______________
√(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²

All you need to do is plug in your points and solve. The result will be your distance.

x₁ = 2
x₂ = 5
y₁ = 3
y₂ = 9
_______________
√(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²
______________
√(5 – 2)² + (9 – 1)²
________
√(3)² + (8)²
______
√ 9 + 64
___
√ 73 ≈ 8.54

The distance between these two points is about 8.54.

Hope this helped you out! :-)
