Answer 1

-The distance:

`d = 1`

Explanation:

-To find the distance between points
`(-8,-2)` and
`(-7,-2)`, you the distance formula:

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

-Use the two given points
`(-8,-2)` and
`(-7,-2)` for the distance formula:

`d = \sqrt{(-7 + 8)^(2) + (-2 + 2)^(2)}`

-Then, solve the formula:

`d = \sqrt{(-7 + 8)^(2) + (-2 + 2)^(2)}`

`d = \sqrt{(1)^(2) + (0)^(2)}`

`d = √(1 + 0)`

`d = √(1)`

`d = 1`

So, the answer for the distance would be
`d = 1` .
