Distance = $sqrt(Deltax^2+Deltay^2)$ Your answer is $2sqrt29$ units

You should find $Deltax$ and $Deltay$ first.

$Delta x=-6-(-2)=-4$

$Delta y=-8-(2)=-10$

Now you can find distance:

Distance = $sqrt((-4)^2+(-10)^2)$

Distance = $sqrt(16+100)$

Distance = $sqrt116$

Distance = $2sqrt29$ units

Your answer is Distance = $2sqrt29$
