Answer:

10

Explanation:

We can use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Plugging in the coordinates of A and B, we get:

Distance = √((-2 - 6)^2 + (-1 - 5)^2)

Distance = √((-8)^2 + (-6)^2)

Distance = √(64 + 36)

Distance = √100

Distance = 10

Therefore, the distance between A(6, 5) and B(−2, −1) is 10 units.
