Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will use the distance formula.


d=√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

For our (x1, y1), we will use (-3, 1). For our (x2, y2), we will use (1, 5). Now let's plug in our numbers and solve the problem.


d=√((1-(-3))^2+(5-1)^2)


d=√(4^2+4^2)


d=√(16 + 16)


d=√(32)


d=5.657

So, the distance between (-3,1) and (1,5) is 5.657 units.
