Explanation:

1. The coordinates that come first are x1 and y1 and the coordinates that come in second are y1 and y2.

(5,8) =x1 and y1

(12,3)=x2 and y2.

2. You have to plug the coordinates back into the formula.


d = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)

d= (12-5) to the second +( 3-8)to the second

7 -5

You do it to the second power

49+10=59

and add a square root.

If you still need help let me know.
