Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d between the points use the distance formula

d = √(x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁)²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 10, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 2)

d = [tex]\sqrt{(-4+10)^2+(-2+2)^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{6^2+0^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{36}[/tex] = 6


The distance between (−10, −2) and (−4, −2) will be 6 units. Then the correct option is B.

What is the distance between two points?

The shortest distance (length of the straight line segment's length connecting both given points) between points ( p,q) and (x,y) is:

D² = (x - p)² + (y - q)²

The points are given below.

(−10, −2) and (−4, −2)

Then the distance between the points will be

D² = (-4 + 10)² + (-2 + 2)²

D² = 6² + 0²

D² = 36

 D = 6 units

Then the correct option is B.
