The formula for distance is:
highlight%28d=sqrt%28%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%5E2%29%29, where d=distance, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.
(x1,y1)=(1.7,-3.6) and (x2,y2)=(-8.6,5.7)
d=sqrt%28%28-8.6-1.7%29%5E2%2B%285.7-%28-3.6%29%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28%28-10.3%29%5E2%2B%289.3%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28106.09%2B86.49%29
d=sqrt%28192.58%29
d=13.87731963
highlight%28d=13.88%29
Happy Calculating!!!
