Answer:

3√13

Explanation:

We want to find the distance between these two points. To do so, we need to use the distance formula which states that the distance between two points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is:

d =
√((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)

Here,
x_1=-1,x_2=8,y_1=0, and
y_2=6. So:

d =
√((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)

d =
√((-1-8)^2+(0-6)^2)=√((-9)^2+(-6)^2) =√(81+36) =√(117) =3√(13)

Thus, the answer is 3√13.
