Question 1171642: find the distance between the point (-1,5) and (2,3)

It is the square root of the x distance ^2 + and the y distance ^2.
Unlike slope, it can be taken in different directions with the x and y
the x distance is 3 and 3^2=9
the y distance is -2 and (-2)^2=4
sqrt(13) units is distance.
