  • 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, -3)

Point (2, 1)

Step 2: Find distance d

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

  1. Substitute in points [Distance Formula]:                                                         [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(2--1)^2+(1--3)^2}[/tex]
  2. [√Radical] (Parenthesis) Subtract:                                                                   [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2}[/tex]
  3. [√Radical] Evaluate exponents:                                                                       [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{9+16}[/tex]
  4. [√Radical] Add:                                                                                                 [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{25}[/tex]
  5. [√Radical] Evaluate:                                                                                         [tex]\displaystyle d = 5[/tex]
