To find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a coordinate plane, we can use the distance formula:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

Using the given points, we have:

Distance = √((-1 - 8)² + (-2 - (-4))²)

Simplifying inside the square root, we get:

Distance = √((-9)² + 2²)

Distance = √(81 + 4)

Distance = √85

Using a calculator or rounding, we can approximate the distance to the nearest tenth:

Distance ≈ 9.2 (to the nearest tenth)
