The distance between two points (x ₁,y₁)(x₁,y₁) and x₂,y₂)x₂,y₂) is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the difference of the x coordinates and difference of the y-coordinates of the two given points. The formula to find the distance between two given points is as follows.

D = √(x₂−x₁)2+(y₂−y₁)
