We can use the formula for finding the length or magnitude of line joining two points.

Length = √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)

The points joining the line are C (-1,4) and D (2,0)

Length = √((2+1)² + (0-4)²)

= √((3²) + (-4)²)

= √ (9+16)

= √25

= 5 units

I am not 100% credible for this answer if it is incorrect, I do apologize.
