Answer:

(about) 11.18034

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to find the distance:

d = sqr (x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)

Fill in the variables with what you know:

d = sqr ((6 - (-4)) + (2 - (-3)))

(Honestly it doesn't matter what order you put the x and y, as long as x2 and y2 make up the coordinates of one point and x1 and y1 make up the coordinates of the other)

= sqr ((6 + 4)^2 + (2 +3)^2)

= sqr ((10)^2 + (5)^2)

= sqr (100 + 25)

= sqr (125)

= (about) 11.1803
