To find the distance between two points (x0, y0) and (x1, y1) use Pythagoras:
distance = √(change_in_x² + change_in_y²)
→ distance = √((x1 - x0)² + (y1 - y0)²)
→ distance = √((8 - -7)² + (-5 - -13)²)
→ distance = √(15² + 8²)
→ distance = √289
→ distance = 17 units.

Pythagoras can be used to find the distance between any two points (x0, y0) and (x1, y1): Distance = √((x1 - x0)² + (y1 - y0)²) → distance = √((5 - 5)² + (13 - 9)²) = √(0 + 4²) = √(4²) = 4.
The distance along a straight line is 10. Using the Pythagorean equation, c2 = a2 + b2 where the x change is 6 and the y change is 8, c2 = 62 + 82 = 36 + 64 = 100 c = [sqrt 100] = 10
Distance = (9-5)2+(-6-1)2 = 65 and the square root of this is the distance between the points which is about 8.062257748

If you mean points of: (-5, 1) and (-2, 3) then the distance is about 3.61 rounded to two decimal places
