Answer:

The distance between the points is √164

Explanation:

the formula for the distance between two points is:

√[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

We substitute the values and get:

  1. √[(5-(-5)² + (-2 - 6)]
  2. √[10² + -8²]
  3. √[100 + 64]
  4. √[164]

Our final answer is √164.

Hope this helps!!
