Answer:


√(40) or 6.32

Explanation:

We can find the distance between two points by using this formula


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

where the x and y values are derived from the given points

The points given are ( -2 , 5 ) and ( 4 , 3 )

So we plug in the x and y values of those coordinates into the distance formula


√((4-(-2)^2+(3-5)^2) \\4-(-2)=6\\3-5=-2\\d=√(6^2+-2^2) \\6^2=36\\-2^2=4\\36+4=40\\d=√(40)

or 6.32
