d=(2−7)2+(4−6)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√
d is equal to square root of open paren 2 minus 7 close paren squared plus open paren 4 minus 6 close paren squared end root

d=(6−7)2+(2−4)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√
d is equal to square root of open paren 6 minus 7 close paren squared plus open paren 2 minus 4 close paren squared end root

d=(2−4)2+(6−7)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√
d is equal to square root of open paren 2 minus 4 close paren squared plus open paren 6 minus 7 close paren squared end root

d=(4−7)2+(2−6)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

Answer 1

The correct setup is
d = sqrt((4 − 7)^2 + (2 − 6)^2).

(Using the distance formula sqrt((x1−x2)^2 + (y1−y2)^2). This gives d = sqrt(9 + 16) = 5.)
