The idea is to use the Pythagorean theorem: take the square root of (square of the difference in x-coordinates + square of the difference in y-coordiantes).

It is the square root of: (5-5)2+(6-2)2 = 4
5/6 is in between 4/6 and 6/6.
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 There is a distance of 12.
The answer depends on the metric used. The Euclidean distance is sqrt[(-3-4)2 + (5+6)2] = sqrt[72 + 112] =sqrt(49 + 121) = sqrt(170) = 13.0384 (to 6 sf). The Minkowsky distance, on the other hand, is |-3-4| + |5+6| = 7 + 11 = 18. There are other metrics.
(Distance)2 = (2 - 5)2 + (6 - 2)2
