The formula for distance between point in a coordinate grid is the following:
[tex] \sqrt{(x2 - x1) {}^{2} + (y2 - y1) {}^{2} } [/tex]
Where 1 and 2 stands for the points, so in your case the formula is the following
[tex] \sqrt{( - 2 - - 5) {}^{2} + (3 - 1) } [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{ {3}^{2} + 2 {}^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{9 + 4} [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{13} =3.605...[/tex]
So your answer is about 3.61
