$color(indigo)("Distance between the two points " d = 10.77 " units"$

$(x_1, y_1) = (5, -1), (x_2, y_2) = (-5, 3)$

$" Distance Formula " d = sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)$

$d =sqrt(( -5-5)^2 + ( 3 + 1)^2) = sqrt(10^2 + 4^2 = sqrt116$

What is the distance between (5, –1)(5, –1) and (-5,3) (-5,3) ?
