Step 1. Given information

We have provided two points and we have to find the distance between them.

Points are:

$(2, - 3), (5, 1)$

Step 2. Find the distance using the formula

Formula for finding the distance between the two points is:

$d = \sqrt{{(y_{2} - y_{1})}^{2} + {(x_{2} - x_{1})}^{2}}$

Therefore,

$d = \sqrt{(1 - {(- 3))}^{2} + {(5 - 2)}^{2}} d = \sqrt{4^{2} + 3^{2}} d = \sqrt{25} d = 5$
