Distance $= sqrt (3985)$

$( -19 , 7 ) =color(green)(x_1 , y_1$

$( 44, 3 ) =color(green)(x_2 , y_ 2$

Distance is calculated using formula:

Distance $= sqrt (( x_2 - x _1 )^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)$

$= sqrt (( 44 - (-19 ) )^2 + (3 - 7)^2)$

$= sqrt (( 44 + 19 )^2 + (-4)^2)$

$= sqrt (( 63 )^2 + (-4)^2)$

$= sqrt ((3969 + 16)$

$= sqrt (3985)$
