First, look th the graph and set the coordinate of the points:
M = (mx,my)= (-1,2)
N = (nx,ny)= (4,0)
Now, apply the distance formula:
[tex]\text{Distance =}\sqrt[]{(mx-nx)^2+(my-ny)^2}[/tex]
Replace with the coordinates:
[tex]D\text{ =}\sqrt[]{(-1-4)^2+(2-0)^2}[/tex][tex]D=\sqrt[]{(-5)^2+2^2}=\sqrt[]{25+4}=\sqrt[]{29}\text{ =5.3}9[/tex]
Distance: 5.39
