Answer: The distance is about 5.39 units

Explanation:

To find the distance between the two points find the difference in the x and y coordinates and square them to add them and find their square root.

4-(-1) = 5

-1 -1 = -2

5^2 + -2^2 = d^2 where d is the distance

25 + 4 = d^2

29 = d^2

d =
√(29)

d= 5.39
