Distance between points (-5, -6) and (-9, -4)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -5  y₁ = -6,  x₂ = -9  y₂ = -4
Distance Formula: d = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-9 − (-5))² + (-4 − (-6))²
d = √(-9 + 5)² + (-4 + 6)²
d = √(-4)² + 2²
d = √16 + 4
d = √20
d = √4 * 5
d = √4 * √5
d = 2√5
Therefore, the distance between the points (-5, -6) and (-9, -4) is equal to 2√5
Note: As a decimal number, 2√5 ≈ 4.4721359549996
