The formula for the distance between these 2 points is [tex]d= \sqrt{( x_{2}- x_{1) ^{2}+( y_{2}- y_{1}) ^{2} [/tex]. Your x1 is 2, your x2 is 6, your y1 is 3, and your y2 is -1. So let's fill in then: [tex]d= \sqrt{(6-2) ^{2}+(-1-3) ^{2} } [/tex]. This simplifies to [tex]d= \sqrt{(4) ^{2}+(-4) ^{2} } [/tex] which is [tex]d= \sqrt{32} [/tex]. This comes out to 5.66
