Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the distance between two points, you find the difference between the x values, square that, find the difference between the y values, square that, add the two numbers you got, and then find the square root.

We find the difference between the x-values.

-4--2

-4+2=-2

Square it

-2²=4

We find the difference of the y-values.

-1--3

-1+3=2

Square it

2²=4

We add these two numbers we got.

4+4=8

And we find the square root.

√8≈2.828

Have a wonderful day! :D
