Answer:

4

Explanation:

The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean theorem:

d² = (x₁ − x₂)² + (y₁ − y₂)²

(Notice the order doesn't matter.)

If we say (x₁,y₁) = (-6,-10) and (x₂,y₂) = (-2,-10), then the distance between the points is:

d² = (-6 − (-2))² + (-10 − (-10))²

d² = (-6 + 2)² + (-10 + 10)²

d² = (-4)² + (0)²

d² = 16

d = 4
