What is the distance between A and B? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
A(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad 
B(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{[4-(-1)]^2+[1-5]^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1-5)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{5^2+(-4)^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{41}$
