Points given : (1, -2)  and (-4 , 3)
             Formula for fimding the distance between two points is
                                       sqrt[( y2 -y1)^2 +(x2 -x1)^2]
                                   =sqrt[(3 -(-2) )^2 + (-4 -1)^2]
                                    = sqrt[( 5)^2 +(-5)^2]
                                    =sqrt[( 25+25)]
                                     =sqrt(50) 
                                      =7.07
