The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the distance formula:
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Using the given points (-8, -3) and (-2, -5), the distance can be calculated as follows:
Distance = sqrt((-2 - (-8))^2 + (-5 - (-3))^2)
Distance = sqrt(6^2 + (-2)^2)
Distance = sqrt(36 + 4)
Distance = sqrt(40)
Distance ≈ 6.32
So, the distance between (-8, -3) and (-2, -5) is approximately 6.32 units.
