Answer:

The answer is

12.1 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

(6,4) and (-5,-1)

The distance between them is


d = \sqrt{ ({6 + 5})^(2) + ( {4 + 1})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {11}^(2) + {5}^(2) } \\ = √(121 + 25) \\ = √(146) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 12.0830459

We have the final answer as

12.1 units to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps
