Calculate the distance between the points =M, −44 and =P, 2−1 in the coordinate plane.
If I understand your question correctly, the two points are:
(M,-44) and (P,[2-1])
That is:
(M,-44) and (P,1)
All you need to do is put this info into the distance formula.
d=√(M−P)2+(−44−1)2
d=√(M−P)2+(−45)2
d= √(M−P)2+2025
