Given are two values.

Let :-


4 = {x}^(1)


0 = {y}^(1)


- 8 = {x}^(2)


0 = {y}^(2)

By distance formula,


\sqrt{ ({x}^(2) - {x}^(1))^(2) + ( {y}^(2) - {y}^(1))^(2) }


\sqrt{ (- 8 - 4)^(2) + (0 - 0) ^(2) }


\sqrt{( - 12)^(2) + 0^(2) }


√(144 + 0)


12

Therefore, the distance is 12

Answer:

12

Explanation:

Using formula

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

Then input the values:

Distance =
\sqrt{ (0 - 0)^(2) + (-8- 4)^2}

=
√(0 + 144)

= 12
