Remember the distance formula?
d+=+sqrt%28%28x2+-+x1%29%5E2+%2B+%28y2+-+y1%29%5E2%29
(x1, y1) = (-3, -2)
(x2, y2) = (3, 6)
Substitute these values into the appropriate places in the distance formula and grind away.
d+=+sqrt%28%283+-+%28-3%29%29%5E2+%2B+%286+-+%28-2%29%29%5E2%29
d+=+sqrt%286%5E2+%2B+8%5E2%29
d+=+sqrt%2836+%2B+64%29
d+=+sqrt%28100%29
d+=+10
