$(2 \sqrt{3}, 5 \sqrt{2})$ , $(- 2 \sqrt{3}, - \sqrt{2})$

Step 1

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

$Distance = \sqrt{{(x_{2} - x_{1})}^{2} + {(y_{2} - y_{1})}^{2}}$

Step 2

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

$\sqrt{{((- 2 \sqrt{3}) - 2 \sqrt{3})}^{2} + {((- \sqrt{2}) - 5 \sqrt{2})}^{2}}$
