Answer:
5 units

Explanation:
The distance between two points can be calculated using the following rule:
distance = sqrt [(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²]

Now, we are given the two points:
(4,3) representing (x1,y1)
(-1,5) representing (x2,y2)

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the distance as follows:
distance = sqrt [(-1-4)² + (5-3)²]
distance = √29 
distance = 5.3 units which is approximately 5 units

Hope this helps :)
