Distance $= sqrt(65$

$(-5, 1) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(3 , 0) = color(blue)(x_2, y_2$

The distance is calculated using formula:'
Distance $= sqrt((x_2- x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2$

$= sqrt((3 - (-5))^2 + ( 0 -1 )^2$

$= sqrt((3 + 5)^2 + ( -1 )^2$

$= sqrt((8)^2 + ( -1 )^2$

$= sqrt((64 + 1)$

Distance $= sqrt(65$
