The slope and the distance of two points (a,b), (c,d) is given by
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }\frac{d-b}{c-a} \\ d=\sqrt[]{\mleft(c-a\mright)^2+(d-b)^2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Replacing our original points, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-1-(-4)}{3-(-2)}=\frac{-1+4}{3+2} \\ m=\frac{3}{5} \\ d=\sqrt[]{(3-\mleft(-2)\mright)^2+(-1}-(-4))^2 \\ d=\sqrt[]{5^2+3^2} \\ d=5.83 \end{gathered}[/tex]
