Final answer:

The distance between the points (-8, -2) and (6, -1) is approximately 14.04 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, we can use the formula: distance
= \sqrt{((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

For the given points (-8, -2) and (6, -1), the distance can be calculated as follows:

Distance =
\sqrt{((6-(-8))^2 + (-1-(-2))^2)


= \sqrt{((14)^2 + (1)^2)


= \sqrt{(196 + 1)

=
\sqrt{197

Approximately, the distance is 14.04 units to the nearest tenth.
