| Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula |
The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2)
Since the first point is (2, -4), we can say (x1, y1) = (2, -4)
So  , 
Since the second point is (-3, 5), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-3, 5)
So  , 
Put this all together to get: , , , and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (2, -4) and (-3, 5)
 Plug in , , , and
==========================================================
Answer:
The distance between the two points (2, -4) and (-3, 5) is exactly  units
The approximate distance between the two points is about 10.295630140987 units
So again,
Exact Distance: units
Approximate Distance:  units
