To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, you can use the distance formula:

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, and can be used to find the distance between any two points in a coordinate plane.
