1. Identify the coordinates of the two points. Let's say Point A has coordinates (x1, y1) and Point B has coordinates (x2, y2).
2. Determine the difference in the x-coordinates (Δx) by subtracting x1 from x2: Δx = x2 - x1.
3. Determine the difference in the y-coordinates (Δy) by subtracting y1 from y2: Δy = y2 - y1.
4. Square Δx: (Δx)^2.
5. Square Δy: (Δy)^2.
6. Add the squared results from steps 4 and 5: (Δx)^2 + (Δy)^2.
7. Take the square root of the sum from step 6 to find the distance between the two points: √((Δx)^2 + (Δy)^2).
Put the steps in order to find the distance between these 2 points.
