d=%28sqrt%28%28x-x2%29%5E2%2B%28y-y2%29%5E2%29%29 [Use the distance formula]
d=%28sqrt%28%281-%28-3%29%29%5E2%2B%284-%28-2%29%29%5E2%29%29 {Plug-in the values]
d=%28sqrt%28%284%29%29%5E2%2B%286%29%29%5E2%29%29
d=%28sqrt%28%2816%29%29%2B%2836%29%29%29
d=%28sqrt%2852%29%29%29
d=7.211

Sorry, asked the wrong distance question before. I am trying to find distance for (-3, -2)=(X1,Y1)..and (1,4)=(X2,Y2). I get 10.
HOW DID YOU GET 10? FORMULA IS D = SQRT[(X2-X1)^2 + (Y2-Y1)^2]
D = SQRT[(1+3)^2 + (4+2)^2]=SQRT(16+36)=SQRT(52)
Thanks for the help
