The distance formula is a formula used in mathematics to determine the distance between two points in a coordinate system. This formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, is represented as √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²] in a 2-dimensional plane. Here, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) denote the coordinates of the two points in question.
