Determine the distance between the points (−3, −6) and (5, 0).
22 units
10 units
8 units
5 units
Using the distance formula, the distance between the two points can be calculated as follows:
d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)
= √((5 - (-3))² + (0 - (-6))²)
= √((5 + 3)² + (0 + 6)²)
= √(8² + 6²)
= √(64 + 36)
= √100
= 10 units
Therefore, the distance between the points (-3, -6) and (5, 0) is 10 units.
