$9 sqrt(2)~~12.73$

Given: $(-4, 6), (5, -3)$ . Find the distance.

Distance formula: $d = sqrt((y_2 - y_1)^2 + (x_2 - x_1)^2)$

$d = sqrt((6 - -3)^2 + (-4 - 5)^2)$

$d = sqrt( 9^2 + (-9)^2)$

$d = sqrt(81 + 81) = sqrt(162) = sqrt(2)*sqrt(81) = 9 sqrt(2)$

What is the distance between (-4, 6)(-4, 6) and (5,-3) (5,-3) ?
