The order in which you write x- and y-coordinates in an ordered pair is very important. The x-coordinate always comes first, followed by the y-coordinate.

M is located at X = -2 and Y = 3.  R is located at X = -4 and Y = - 2

(-2,3) (-4-2)

To find the distance between the two points:

Take the Absolute Difference between the two X points -2 and -4 = 2

Take the Absolute Difference between the two Y points 3 and -2 = 5

Square 2 = 4

Square 5 = 25

Add 4 + 25 = 29

Square root of 29 = 5.385165   Rounded 5.4

The rise is 5 and the run is 2

D=sqrt(5^2+2^2)=sqrt(25+4)=sqrt(29)=5.385

D 5.4

the coordinates system is needed.

Use the distance formula.

D = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

D = √[(-4 - (-2))^2 + (-2 - 3)^2]

D = 5.38516 or 5.4

Find the distance between the two points

on the coordinate plane  M(-2, -3) and R (-4, -2)

corrected to the nearest tenth.

(2^2 + 5^2)^(1/2) = 5.385164807134504

Notice that you have to go 2 over and 5 up to get from point R to point M.

Imagine a right triangle with legs of 2 and 5. The hypotenuse will be the direct distance between those points.

2² + 5² = c²

4 + 25 = c²

c² = 29

c = √29

c ≈ 5.4

The next figure shows how the plane intersecting the double cone results in each curve. ... Use the rectangular coordinate system to find the distance between ... a2+b2=c2 ... The distance d between the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is ... the decimal approximation, rounded to the nearest tenth if needed.

M(-2, 3) and R(-4, -2)

Observe differences in x and y coordinatesD^2 = 2^2 + 5^2D ~ 5.4

R = ( -4,-2) & M = (-2,3)

Use Pythagoras,

d^2 = (-2--4)^2 + ( 3--2)^2

d^2 = (2^2 + 5^2)

d^2 = 4 + 25

d^2 = 29

d = sqrt(29)

d = 5.385... ~ 5.4 (Red rectangle)

I guess using the formula for it?
