put the steps in order to find the distance between these 2 points (-2,1) and (4,3)
1. Write down the coordinates of the two points: Point A (-2, 1) and Point B (4, 3).
2. Use the distance formula: √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2).
3. Substitute the coordinates into the formula: √((4 - (-2))^2 + (3 - 1)^2).
4. Simplify the equation: √((6)^2 + (2)^2).
5. Square the values inside the parentheses: √(36 + 4).
6. Add the squared values together: √40.
7. Find the square root of 40: 6.32.
8. The distance between the two points is approximately 6.32 units.
