The distance between the points can be calculated by using the difference in the x coordinates, the difference in the y coordinates and Pythagoras.

distance = sqrt((difference_in_x_coords)2 + difference_in_y_coords)2)

So for the points (-1, 1) and (1, -1) the distance between them is:

sqrt((-1 - 1)2 + (1 - -1)2)

=sqrt(22 + 22)

=sqrt(4 + 4)

= sqrt(8)

~= 2.83
