What is the formula for finding the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

There are no answers for this I just need help cuz I can’t find the formula. If there are multiple formulas please give them to me please thank you.

it's just the Pythagorean Theorem.
If you plot the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), then the lengths of the legs are
(x2-x1) and (y2-y1)
