Answer:
The distance between 2 points is 16.1 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to apply distance formula using coordinates,
[tex]distance = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } [/tex]
Let (x1,y1) be (-6,2),
Let (x2,y2) be (8,10)
[tex]distance = \sqrt{ {(8 - ( - 6))}^{2} + {(10 - 2)}^{2} } [/tex]
[tex]distance = \sqrt{196 + 64} [/tex]
[tex]distance = \sqrt{260} [/tex]
[tex]distance = 2 \sqrt{65} [/tex]
[tex]distance = 16.1 \: units \: (3s.f)[/tex]
