Problem
distance between two points formula
Step-by-step solution
The distance formula between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$. For points (4, 6) and (7, -3), this is $\sqrt{(7-4)^2 + (-3-6)^2}$ or $\sqrt{(4-7)^2 + (6-(-3))^2}$.
Answer
$\sqrt{(4-7)^2 + (6-(-3))^2}$
