Given Coordinates: x1 = 2 y1 = 5, x2 = -1 y2 = 2
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-1 − 2)2 + (2 − 5)2
d = √(-3)2 + (-3)2
d = √9 + 9
d = √18
d = √9 * 2
d = √9 * √2
d = 3√2
Therefore, the distance between the points (2, 5) and (-1, 2) is equal to 3√2
Note: As a decimal number, 3√2 ≈ 4.2426406871193
