Given Coordinates: x1 = -1 y1 = 2, x2 = 3 y2 = -1
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(3 − (-1))2 + (-1 − 2)2
d = √(3 + 1)2 + (-1 − 2)2
d = √42 + (-3)2
d = √16 + 9
d = √25
d = 5
Therefore, the distance between the points (-1, 2) and (3, -1) is equal to 5
