Use the distance formula:
\n" ); document.write( "d= $\"%28+sqrt%28%28x1-x2%29%5E2%2B%28y1-y2%29%5E2%29%29+%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "d= $\"%28+sqrt%28%285-8%29%5E2%2B%281-5%29%5E2%29%29+%29\"$ [plug-in the values(5,1)and (8,5) ]
\n" ); document.write( "d= $\"%28+sqrt%28%28-3%29%5E2%2B%28-4%29%5E2%29%29+%29\"$ [simplify]
\n" ); document.write( "d= $\"%28+sqrt%28%289%29%2B%2816%29%29%29+%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "d= $\"%28+sqrt%2825%29%29%29+%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "d=5 \n" ); document.write( "
