Answer:
[tex]d=16.1245[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance Formula: [tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the formula to find distance d:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(8-(-6))^2+(-3-5)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(8+6)^2+(-8)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(14)^2+64}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{196+64}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{260}[/tex]
[tex]d=16.1245[/tex]
