Answer: 6.32
Explanation:
The distance between the points (-8, -3) and (-2, -5) can be calculated using the distance formula. The formula is:
d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points involved.
Substituting the values, we get:
d=(−2−(−8))2+(−5−(−3))2
d=(−2−(−8))2+(−5−(−3))2
d=62+(−2)2
d=62+(−2)2
d=40
d=40
d≈6.32
d≈6.32
Therefore, the distance between the points (-8, -3) and (-2, -5) is approximately 6.32 units.
