The formula for determining the distance between two points is expressed as
[tex]\text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}[/tex]
Looking at the graph,
x1 = - 4, y1 = - 4
x2 = 1, y2 = - 3
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(1--4)^2+(-3--4)^2} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{5^2+1^2} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{26} \\ \text{Distance = 5.1} \end{gathered}[/tex]
