Answer:
√85
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula tells you the distance between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ...
... d = √((x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2)
For your points (-1, -4) and (-8, 2), the distance is ...
... d = √((-8 -(-1))^2 +(2 -(-4))^2) = √((-7)^2 +6^2) = √(49 +36)
... d = √85
The distance between the two points is √85.
