Answer:

The answer is


√(65) \: \: \: units

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points we use the formula


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

where

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

From the question the points were

(-8,5), (-1.1)

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's


\sqrt{ ({ - 8 + 1})^(2) + ({5 - 1})^(2) }


\sqrt{ ({ - 7})^(2) + {4}^(2) }


√(49 + 16)

We have the final answer as


√(65) \: \: units

Hope this helps you
