Answer:
10 units
solution,
A(-2,-4)--->(X1,y1)
B(-8,4)----->(x2,y2)
now,
[tex]ab = \sqrt{(x2 - x1) ^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{ (- 8 - ( - 2)) ^{2} + (4 - ( - 4)) ^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{( - 8 + 2) ^{2} + {(4 + 4)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{( - 6) ^{2} + {(8)}^{2} } \\ \: \: = \sqrt{36 + 64} \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{100} \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{ {(10)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: \: = 10 \: units[/tex]
Hope this helps..
Good luck on your assignment
