On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point C to point D. Point C is at (negative 1, 4) and point D is at (2, 0).
Point C has the coordinates (–1, 4) and point D has the coordinates (2, 0). What is the distance between points C and D?

d = StartRoot (x 2 minus x 1) squared + (v 2 minus v 1) squared EndRoot

Using the distance formula:

x2 − x1 = 2 − (−1) = 3
y2 − y1 = 0 − 4 = −4

d = √(3^2 + (−4)^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 units.
