.

10 units horizontally and 3 units vertically.


    the distance = sqrt%2810%5E2+%2B+3%5E2%29 = sqrt%28109%29.


Use your calculator.

D = +sqrt+%28+%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B+%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2+%29+
what’s the distance in units between
(-6, -2) and
(4, -5)
D = +sqrt+%28+%28-6-4%29%5E2%2B+%28-2+%2B5%29%5E2+%29+
D = +sqrt+%28+%28-10%29%5E2+%2B+%283%29%5E2+%29+
D = +sqrt+%28+109+%29+
