You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can use the \"distance\" formula $\"d+=+sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2+%2B+%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29\"$ to solve this.

\n" ); document.write( "(-2, 1) = (x2, y2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"d+=+sqrt%28%28-2-3%29%5E2+%2B+%281-5%29%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d+=+sqrt%28%28-5%29%5E2+%2B+%28-4%29%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d+=+sqrt%2825+%2B+16%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d+=+sqrt%2841%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d+=+6.4\"$ approximately.
