Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for determining the distance between two points on a straight line is expressed as

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Where

x2 represents final value of x on the horizontal axis

x1 represents initial value of x on the horizontal axis.

y2 represents final value of y on the vertical axis.

y1 represents initial value of y on the vertical axis.

From the given information,

x2 = - 1

x1 = 4

y2 = 6

y1 = 3

Therefore,

Distance = √(- 1 - 4)² + (6 - 3)²

Distance = √(- 5² + 3²) = √(25 + 9) = √34

Distance = 5.83
