The distance between the two points in a radical form is √85 units
<h3>How to determine the distance between the two points?</h3>
From the question, we have the following coordinate points that can be used in our computation:
(-8,-4),(1,-6)
The distance between the points is calculated as
distance = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
Where
(x, y) = (-8,-4),(1,-6)
Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation
distance = √[(1 + 8)² + (-6 + 4)²]
Evaluate
distance = √85
Hence, the distance is √85
