Distance between points (-2, -5) and (4, -8)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -2  y₁ = -5,  x₂ = 4  y₂ = -8
Distance Formula: d = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(4 − (-2))² + (-8 − (-5))²
d = √(4 + 2)² + (-8 + 5)²
d = √6² + (-3)²
d = √36 + 9
d = √45
d = √9 * 5
d = √9 * √5
d = 3√5
Therefore, the distance between the points (-2, -5) and (4, -8) is equal to 3√5
Note: As a decimal number, 3√5 ≈ 6.7082039324994
