Answer:

10.77

Explanation:

by using Pythagoras theorem we can find the distance between the points,

so...

distance between the points, which is the hypotenuse will be xy

difference between the y coordinates will be dy

difference between the x coordinates will be dx

according to pythagoras theorem,


xy^(2) = dx^(2) + dy^(2) \\xy^(2) = (-6-(-2))^(2) + (-5-5)^(2)\\xy^(2) =(-4)^(2) +(-10)^(2) \\xy^(2) =16+100\\xy^(2) =116\\xy =√(116) \\xy=10.77
