. To find the distance between two points, use the distance formula.
It will be the square root of (x2-x1)squared + (y2-y1)squared.
Use (3,-4) as x1, y1. Use (5,1) as x2, y2.
We get the square root of (5-3)squared + (1- -4)squared.
That gives us the square root of 2 squared + 5 squared.
Now we have the square root of 4 + 25, = the square root of 29.
That is the distance between the two points.
