Answer:

The answer is 4 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula


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

where

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

From the question the points are

(-6,-10) & (-2,-10)

The distance between them is


d= \sqrt{ ({ - 6 + 2})^(2) + ({ - 10 + 10})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 4})^(2) + 0} \\ = √(16) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:

We have the final answer as

4 units

Hope this helps you
