Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula

The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2)

Since the first point is (1, -2), we can say (x1, y1) = (1, -2)
So ,

Since the second point is (-4, 3), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-4, 3)
So ,

Put this all together to get: , , , and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (1, -2) and (-4, 3)

Plug in , , , and

==========================================================

Answer:

The distance between the two points (1, -2) and (-4, 3) is exactly units

The approximate distance between the two points is about 7.07106781186548 units

So again,

Exact Distance: units

Approximate Distance: units
