To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

The distance between (2, 4) and (5, -2) can be found using the following steps:

Find the difference in the x-coordinates: 5 - 2 = 3

Find the difference in the y-coordinates: -2 - 4 = -6

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance: d = √(3^2 + (-6)^2) = √(9 + 36) = √45

So the distance between (2, 4) and (5, -2) is √45.
