Answer:
The distance between the two points is [tex]\sqrt{26}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
d = [tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}[/tex]
∵ The points are (-1, 3) and (4, 2)
∴ x1 = -1 and x2 = 4
∴ y1 = 3 and y2 = 2
→ Substitute them in the formula of the distance above
∵ d = [tex]\sqrt{(4--1)^{2}+(2-3)^{2}}[/tex]
∴ d = [tex]\sqrt{(4+1)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}[/tex]
∴ d = [tex]\sqrt{(5)^{2}+1}[/tex]
∴ d = [tex]\sqrt{25+1}[/tex]
∴ d = [tex]\sqrt{26}[/tex]
∴ The distance between the two points is [tex]\sqrt{26}[/tex]
