Find the distance between to points given?

===============================================

Explanation:

The two endpoints are (-3,1) and (-1,-4)

Apply the distance formula

So the approximate distance is roughly 5.38 units and the exact distance is units.

--------------

As a slight alternative, you can plot the point (-3,-4) and draw a right triangle. Then apply the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The vertical and horizontal legs are 5 and 2 units respectively.

It turns out that the distance formula is essentially a modified form of the pythagorean theorem.
