If you mean a ; (-5,4) & b ; (3,-2)

If you mean that they are the (x,y) coordinates, then please write them in brackets separated by a comma.

If this is what you mean, then we use Pythagoras.

d^2 = a^2 + b^2

Substituting

d^2 = (-5-3)^2 + ( 4 - - 2)^2

d^2 = (-8)^2 + (6)^2

d^2 = 64 + 36

d^2 = 100

d = sqrt(100) = 10 is the distance between the two points.
