What is the distance between these two points? (1,4) , (-2,-1) The distance formula:D = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²] the points have coordinates of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) (1,4) , (-2,-1) D = √[(-2 - 1)² + (-1 - 4)²] {substituted into the distance formula} = √[(-3)² + (-5)²] {subtracted} = √[9 + 25] {squared -3 and -5} = √34 {added 9 and 25} ≈ 5.83 {evaluated square root of 34} © Algebra House
