Distance Between Points in Coordinate Geometry

Consider the coordinate plane where points are plotted based on their (x, y) coordinates. If point A is located at (1, 3) and point B is located at (5, 3), what is the distance between points A and B?

To calculate the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, we use the distance formula given by:

$$d = ext{sqrt}((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)$$

Here, $(x_1, y_1)$ corresponds to point A, and $(x_2, y_2)$ corresponds to point B.
