I assume that you know the distance formula (square root of sum of corresponding coordinates squared)

sqrt((a-b)^2 + (c-d)^2(ab)2+(cd)2

We can just plug in the corresponding values into the formula

sqrt((2-(-4))^2 + (-14-5)^2(2(4))2+(145)2

sqrt((6)^2 + (-19)^2)(6)2+(19)2

This becomes sqrt(36+361)36+361

Which is sqrt(397)397

This cannot be simplified further, so we are done.
