You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given points N(6,-4) and O(-2,5), find the distance of line segment NO. Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
------------------
2 points on the x-y plane form a right triangle.
The difference in x is one leg, the difference in y is the other.
---------
Use Pythagoras.

----------------------------------------
distance = sqrt[(5--4)^2 + (-2-6)^2]
= sqrt[81 + 64]
= sqrt(145)
= 12.04
