√85

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance between two points by using this formula

d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Where the x and y values are derived from the two given points

The two given points are (-2,5) and (4,-2)

Remember that coordinates are written as (x,y)

Next we want to define our variables ( x2, x1, y2 and y1 are the variables)

x2 = 4

x1 = -2

y2 = -2

y1 = 5

Now to find the distance between the two points we simply substitute the values of the variables into the formula

Formula: d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

x2 = 4, x1 = -2, y2 = -2 and y1 = 5

d = √(4 - (-2))² + (-2 - 5)²

The two negative signs before the 2 cancel out and it changes to + 2

d = √(4 + 2)² + (-2 - 5)²

Add 4 and 2

d = √6² + (-2 - 5)²

Subtract -2 and -5

d = √6² + -7²

Apply the exponents

d = √36 + 49

Add 36 and 49

d = √85

We can conclude that the distance between the two points is √85
