You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distance = sqrt((2 + 6)^2 + (-10 + 5)^2) = sqrt(8^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(89)

The solutions by   @CubeyThePenguin  is INCORRECT.

I came to bring you the correct solution. 


distance = sqrt%28%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2+%2B+%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%5E2%29 = sqrt%28%28%28-10%29-%28-5%29%29%5E2+%2B+%282-%28-6%29%29%5E2%29 = sqrt%28%28-5%29%5E2%2B8%5E2%29 = sqrt%2825%2B64%29 = sqrt%2889%29 = 9.434 (rounded).    ANSWER

Solved.
