Answer:

C.10 units

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points in the coordinate plane, i use the distance formula:

distance = sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

In this case, we have two points: (5, 2) and (-3, -4). We can plug these coordinates into the distance formula:

distance = sqrt[(-3 - 5)^2 + (-4 - 2)^2]

distance = sqrt[(-8)^2 + (-6)^2]

distance = sqrt[64 + 36]

distance = sqrt[100]

distance = 10

Therefore, the distance between (5, 2) and (-3, -4) on the coordinate plane is 10 units.
