You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the distance between point
(-6, -1) =(x%5B1%5D, y%5B1%5D)
and
(4,+3)=(x%5B2%5D, y%5B2%5D)


d=sqrt%28%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%5E2%29

d=sqrt%28%284-%28-6%29%29%5E2%2B%283-%28-1%29%29%5E2%29

d=sqrt%28%284%2B6%29%5E2%2B%283%2B1%29%5E2%29

d=sqrt%2810%5E2%2B4%5E2%29

d=sqrt%28116%29

d=10.77
