Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula


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


Since the first point is (-2, -1), we can say (x1, y1) = (-2, -1)
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 (-2, -1) and (4, 3)






Plug in , , , and






















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

Answer:


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


The approximate distance between the two points is about 7.21110255092798 units



So again,


Exact Distance: units


Approximate Distance: units
