We have two points and we need to calculate the distance between them.

The points are P1(-4,3) and P2(3,2).

We can apply the following formula for the distance between points:


D=√((x_2-x_1)^2)+(y_2-y_1)^2
\begin{gathered} D=√((3-(-4))^2)+(3-2)^2 \\ D=√(7^2+1^2)=√(49+1)=√(50)=√((25\cdot2))=5√(2) \end{gathered}

The answe is 5 times the square root of 2:


D=5√(2)
