Answer:

√104.

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a coordinate plane, we can use the distance formula:

d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

So, for the given points (5, -4) and (3, 6), the distance is:

d = √((3 - 5)² + (6 - (-4))²)

d = √((-2)² + (10)²)

d = √(4 + 100)

d = √104

Therefore, the distance between the two points (5, -4) and (3, 6) is √104.
