A slight alternative is to plot the point M(2,-5) to form right triangle LMN. The 90 degree angle is at point M.
The legs are of length LM = 4 and MN = 5, which are found by subtracting the x coordinates together and the y coordinates together (or you can count the spaces). From there, use the Pythagorean theorem to get the hypotenuse LN.
The distance formula is an altered version of the Pythagorean theorem.
