The straight-line distance is 5.0000.
This is the Euclidean (as-the-crow-flies) distance in the coordinate plane, the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the horizontal and vertical separations.
The midpoint of the segment is (1.5000, 2.0000).
The slope of the line through these two points is 1.3333 (rise over run).
Swapping which point is labeled first and which is second leaves the distance unchanged.
Next stepTo find the equation of the line through these points, use the slope and one point in y - y1 = m(x - x1).
