Distance between two points = sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2%2B%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29
Points (-3,2) and (1,-1)
d=%28sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2%2B%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29%29
d=%28sqrt%28%281-%28-3%29%29%5E2%2B%28-1-2%29%5E2%29%29
d=%28sqrt%28%281%2B3%29%5E2%2B%28-3%29%5E2%29%29
d=%28sqrt%28%284%29%5E2%2B%28-3%29%5E2%29%29
d=%28sqrt%2816%2B9%29%29%29
d=%28sqrt%2825%29%29%29
d=%28sqrt%285%2A5%29%29%29
d=5
