X1= 0
Y1= -8
X2= -5
Y2= 4

M=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
M= (4- -8)/(-5-0)
M= (4+8)/(-5-0)
M= (12)/(-5)
M= -2.4

Answer:

13 units

Explanation:

Calculate the distance using the distance formula

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 4)

d =
√((-5-0)^2+(4-(-8))^2)

=
√((-5)^2+(4+8)^2)

=
√(25+12^2)

=
√(25+144)

=
√(169)

= 13
