Let help you with that.
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
```
d = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2
```
Where:
* `d` is the distance between the two points
* `x1` and `y1` are the coordinates of the first point
* `x2` and `y2` are the coordinates of the second point
In this case, the points are (8, -4) and (-1, -2):
```
d = √((8 - (-1))^2 + ((-4) - (-2))^2)
```
```
d = √(9^2 + (-2)^2)
```
```
d = √(81 + 4)
```
```
d = √85
```
```
d = 9.2 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
```
Therefore, the distance between the two points is 9.2 units.
