Answer:

Explanation:

You have to use the distance formula to find that distance. The formula is:


d=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2}

Let's call the first point x1, y1 (4, -1) and the second point x2, y2 (0, -2). Plugging into our formula then gives us this:


d=√( (0-4)^2+(-2-(-1))^2)

which simplifies to


d=√((-4)^2+(-1)^2) which is


d=√(17) ≈ 4.123 units
