Distance between points (-2, -4) and (4, -6)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -2  y₁ = -4,  x₂ = 4  y₂ = -6
Distance Formula: d = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(4 − (-2))² + (-6 − (-4))²
d = √(4 + 2)² + (-6 + 4)²
d = √6² + (-2)²
d = √36 + 4
d = √40
d = √4 * 10
d = √4 * √10
d = 2√10
Therefore, the distance between the points (-2, -4) and (4, -6) is equal to 2√10
Note: As a decimal number, 2√10 ≈ 6.3245553203368
