$2sqrt52$

$color(blue)((-3,-48)and(-17-42)$

Where

$color(purple)(x_1=-3,x_2=-17$

$color(purple)(y_1=-48,y_2=-42$

$:.d=sqrt((-17-(-3))^2+(-42-(-48))^2)$

$rarrd=sqrt((-17+3)^2+(-42+48)^2)$

$rarrd=sqrt((-14)^2+(6)^2)$

$rarrd=sqrt(196+36)$

$rarrd=sqrt(232)$

$rarrd=sqrt(4*52)$

$color(green)(rArrd=2sqrt52~~15.23$

What is the distance between (-3,-48)(-3,-48) and (-17,-42)(-17,-42)?
