Answer:

The answer is


√(41) \: \: or \: \: \: 6.403 \: \: \: 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, -5) and (2, 0)

The distance is


d = \sqrt{ ({ - 6 - 2})^(2) + ({ - 5 - 0})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 4})^(2) + ({ - 5})^(2) } \\ = √(16 + 25) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:

We have the final answer as


√(41) \: \: or \: \: \: 6.403 \: \: \: units

Hope this helps you
