(x,y%2B3) and (x-4,y)
use distance formula:
d=sqrt%28%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28%28%28x-4%29-x%29%5E2%2B%28y-%28y%2B3%29%29%5E2+%29
d=sqrt%28%28x-x-4%29%5E2%2B%28y-y-3%29%5E2+%29
d=sqrt%28%28-4%29%5E2%2B%28-3%29%5E2+%29
d=sqrt%2816%2B9+%29
d=sqrt%2825+%29
d=5
