C
The Distance Between -4 And 2 Is 6 (6^2=36)
The Distance Between 5 And -3 Is 8 (8^2=64)
36+64 =100 Sq Root Of 100 Is 10

Answer:

D (-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation: The distance is 10 units, so you take -4 (x) and go over 2 spaces so your at x = -2, and 2 units are down, 8 more to go. Then for (y) you do 5-8 and get -3 so now y = -3 . Now you have moved 10 spaces because 2 + 8 = 10 spaces, and are left at D (-2, -3).
