Answer:

The answer is

√37 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points is found by using the formula


\sqrt{ {(x1 - x2)}^(2) + {(y1 - y2)}^(2) }

Where (x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points

The distance between (-6, -2) and (0, -1) is


\sqrt{ {( - 6 - 0)}^(2) + {( - 2 + 1)}^(2) } \\ \\ = \sqrt{ {( - 6})^(2) + {( - 1)}^(2) } \\ \\ = √(36 + 1) \\ \\ = √(37) \: units

Hope this helps you
