To find distance between 2 points apply Pithagoras theorem

X^2 + Y^2 = R ^ 2 for a rectangular triangle

X represents the difference between coordinates x and x'

Y represents the difference between coordinates y and y'

now find this values ( x - x') and ( y - y')

they are. (-8 -4) and ( 1 -(-6))

looking a the picture the first two options corresponds to this numbers. BUT theres a difference between them,

in the first one theres a + sign

in the 2nd one theres a - sign

the true answer is first, because Pithagoras theorem have a + sign .
