Answer:
The answer is
[tex] \sqrt{65} \: \: \: units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between two points we use the formula
[tex] \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} + ( {y1 - y2})^{2} } [/tex]
where
( x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points
From the question the points were
(-8,5), (-1.1)
Substitute the values into the above formula
That's
[tex] \sqrt{ ({ - 8 + 1})^{2} + ({5 - 1})^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{ ({ - 7})^{2} + {4}^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{49 + 16} [/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex] \sqrt{65} \: \: units[/tex]
Hope this helps you
