Distance between points (-3, -6) and (1, -14)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -3  y₁ = -6,  x₂ = 1  y₂ = -14
Distance Formula: d = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(1 − (-3))² + (-14 − (-6))²
d = √(1 + 3)² + (-14 + 6)²
d = √4² + (-8)²
d = √16 + 64
d = √80
d = √16 * 5
d = √16 * √5
d = 4√5
Therefore, the distance between the points (-3, -6) and (1, -14) is equal to 4√5
Note: As a decimal number, 4√5 ≈ 8.9442719099992
