Answer:

A. Square13

Explanation:

Suppose we have two points:

A = (x_(1), y_(1))

B = (x_(2), y_(2))

The distance between these points is:

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

Distance between (-6,-2) and (-4,-5).

$D = \sqrt{(-6 - (-4))^(2) + (-2 -(-5))^(2)} = \sqrt{(-2)^(2) + (3)^(2)} = √(13)$

So the correct answer is:

A. Square13
