Hi, I'm happy to help!

To solve this, we need to find the distance in x coordinate values, y coordinate values, then use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the distance.

First, let's find the distance in x coordinate values. Our first x coordinate value is -6, and our second is 2. From here, we subtract.

-6-2=-8

Since we have a negative number, we use absolute value, which says how far the number is from 0.

I-8I

8

<u>The distance in x coordinate values is 8.</u>

Next, we find the distance in y coordinate values. our first y coordinate is -5, and our second is 0, now, let's subtract.

-5-0=-5

I-5I

5

<u>The distance in y coordinate values is 5.</u>

From here, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that a²+b²=c².

This has to do with right triangles. Think about drawing a line down to the y coordinate of the other point, then to the x coordinate. Now, drawing a line straight from point to point. Now, you have a right triangle, and we are trying to find c, the direct distance of the line going from point to point. Let's say that our x distance is a, and our y distance is b.

Let's plug in the values:

8²+5²=c²

64+25=c²

89=c²

To find c, we need to find the square root of 89.

√89=c

9.433981132...=c

Since this number goes on forever, we need to round.

Rounding to the nearest thousandth:

9.434

Nearest hundredth:

9.43

Nearest tenth:

9.4

Depending on what the question asks, use one of these values.

<u></u>

<u>To conclude, The distance between the two points is about 9.43 units.</u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :)
