distance $=color(blue)(sqrt(10$

The points are

$(3,-5) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(2,-2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

Distance is calculated using formula

distance $=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2$

$=sqrt((2-3)^2 + (-2-(-5))^2$

$=sqrt((-1)^2 + (-2+5)^2$

$=sqrt((1 + (3)^2$

$=sqrt(1 + 9$

distance $=color(blue)(sqrt(10$

What is the distance between (3,-5)(3,-5) and (2,-2)(2,-2)?
