Distance between points (-3, -5) and (-1, -8)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -3  y₁ = -5,  x₂ = -1  y₂ = -8
Distance Formula: d = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-1 − (-3))² + (-8 − (-5))²
d = √(-1 + 3)² + (-8 + 5)²
d = √2² + (-3)²
d = √4 + 9
d = √13
Therefore, the distance between the points (-3, -5) and (-1, -8) is equal to √13
Note: As a decimal number, √13 ≈ 3.605551275464
