Answer:

distance is 9.055

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points; (-4, 2) and (5, 1)

To find:

the distance between two points

We will apply the formula for distance between two points:


$$dis\tan ce\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$$
\begin{gathered} x_1=-4,y_1=2,\text{ }x_2=5,\text{ }y_2\text{ = 1} \\ distance\text{ = }√((1-2)^2+(5-(-4))^2) \\ distance\text{ = }\sqrt{1\text{ + 9}^2} \\ distance\text{ = }√(82) \\ distance\text{ = 9.055} \end{gathered}
