  • Distance Formula: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-1, 4)

Point (1, -1)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

  1. Substitute [DF]:                    [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(1+1)^2+(-1-4)^2}[/tex]
  2. Add/Subtract:                       [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(2)^2+(-5)^2}[/tex]
  3. Exponents:                           [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{4+25}[/tex]
  4. Add:                                      [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{29}[/tex]
