It is the square root of the differences of the x s and the differences of the y s added together.
\n" ); document.write( "Unlike slope, where the direction in which one takes the difference matters, here it does not, because we are squaring it.
\n" ); document.write( "Difference between 1 and -4 is 5, 5 squared is 25.
\n" ); document.write( "Difference between -2 and 3 is also 5, and squared is 25.
\n" ); document.write( "It is the square root of (25+25)=sqrt(50)=5 sqrt 2 or about 7.71 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
