Given:
On a coordinate grid, point M is at (-8,2) and point S is at (10,2).
We need to determine the distance between the points M and S.
Distance between the point M and S:
The distance between the points M and S can be determined using the formula,

Substituting the points (-8,2) and (10,2) in the above formula, we get;

Simplifying, we have;


Taking square root, we get;

Thus, the distance between the points M and S is 18 units.
