Answer: = 8.944

Explanation: Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points

d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + ( y2 - y1)^2

d - distance

( x1 , x2) -first point

( y1 , y2) -second point

( -5 , -8) ( -1 , -16)

x1 = -5

y1 = -8

x2 = -1

y2 = -16

d = √( -1 - (-5)^2 + ( -16 - (-8)^2

= √( -1 + 5)^2 + ( -16 + 8)^2

= √ 4^2 + (-8)^2

= √ 16 + 64

= √ 80

= 8.944
