6

sorry it's late but hopefully it can help someone else

Answer 2

The distance between the point (−10, −2) and the point (−4, −2) is 6 units .

Explanation:

Formula

`Distance\ formula = \sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)}`

As given

The distance between the point (−10, −2) and the point (−4, −2) .

`Distance\ formula = \sqrt{(-4-(-10))^(2)+(-2-(-2))^(2)}`

`Distance\ formula = \sqrt{(-4+10)^(2)+(-2+2)^(2)}`

`Distance\ formula = \sqrt{(6)^(2)+(0)^(2)}`

`Distance\ formula = √(36)`

`√(36)=6`

`Distance\ formula =6\ units`

Therefore the distance between the point (−10, −2) and the point (−4, −2) is 6 units .
