Answer:


d=4√(5)\approx8.94

Explanation:

To find the distance between any two points, we can use the distance formula:


d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

Let (-1, -2) be (x₁, y₁) and let (-9, 2) be (x₂, y₂).

Substitute appropriately:


d=\sqrt{(-9-(-1))^2+(2-(-2))^2

Evaluate:


d=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(4)^2

Square and evaluate:


d=√(64+16)=√(80)=4√(5)\approx8.94

Therefore, the distance between the two points is approximately 8.94 units.
