a.
[tex]Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\\\\ = \sqrt{\left( -4 - \left( -5 \right) \right)^2 + \left( -2 - \left( -3 \right) \right)^2} \\ \\ = \sqrt{ 1 + 1} \\ \\ = \sqrt{ 2 }[/tex]

b. 
[tex]Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\\\\ = \sqrt{\left( -4 - \frac{ 7 }{ 2 } \right)^2 + \left( \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } - 1 \right)^2} \\ \\= \sqrt{ \frac{ 225 }{ 4 } + \frac{ 9 }{ 4 }} \\ \\= 3 \frac{\sqrt{ 26 }}{ 2 } [/tex]
