Explanation:

1. The formula for straight - line distance between two points on a coordinate plane is the distance formula.
2. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
3. The formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$ calculates the straight - line distance.
4. First, we subtract the $x$ and $y$ coordinates of the two points.
5. After subtracting, we square the differences.

Answer:

1. Distance formula
2. Pythagorean
3. Straight - line distance
4. Coordinates
5. Square
