Answer

$\sqrt{41}\approx 6.40$ units

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The distance between the points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ can be found using the distance formula $d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$ Use the formula above to obtain: $d=\sqrt{(0-4)^2+(-2-3)^2} \\d=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-5)^2} \\d=\sqrt{16+25} \\d=\sqrt{41} \\d \approx 6.40$
