Answer:
11 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, - 3)
d = [tex]\sqrt{-6+6)^2+(-3-8)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{0^2+(-11)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{0+121}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{121}[/tex] = 11
