It depends on the "type of problem" given; however these are the main "distance formulas" given in Algebra I:

Distance = Rate x Time, finding distance traveled by an object over a given time period. This can also be used for any rate & time problem (the baker bakes 4 cupcakes a minute, and was baking cupcakes for 6 minutes today, etc.)

If two points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then the distance between the two points is (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2.
