Given - Two points be $A(2,5)$ and $B(-4,1)$

Solution- Using formula, $AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Substitute the coordinates:   $AB =\sqrt{(-4 - 2)^2 + (1 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{(-6)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 16} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}$

Therefore, the distance between the two points is $\sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13} \approx 7.21$ units.
