(x1,y1) = (-10,12) and (x2,y2) = (5,3)

d+=+sqrt%28+%28x1-x2%29%5E2+%2B+%28y1-y2%29%5E2+%29

d+=+sqrt%28+%28-10-5%29%5E2+%2B+%2812-3%29%5E2+%29

d+=+sqrt%28+%28-15%29%5E2+%2B+%289%29%5E2+%29

d+=+sqrt%28+225+%2B+81+%29

d+=+sqrt%28+306+%29

d+=+sqrt%289%2A34%29

d+=+sqrt%289%29%2Asqrt%2834%29

d+=+3%2Asqrt%2834%29

d+=+17.49286 approximately
