Answer:

The distance between
(-5,-6),(-9,-4) is
6 units .

Explanation:

Distance Formula :

$\sqrt{(x_(2)^(2) -x_(1)^(2)) +( y_(2)^(2) -y_(1)^(2))}$

Given,

The two points are

(-5,-6),(-9,-4)

To calculate the distance between two points, use the distance formula.

$\sqrt{(x_(2)^(2) -x_(1)^(2)) +( y_(2)^(2) -y_(1)^(2))}$

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

Distance
$=\sqrt{((-9)^(2) -(-5)^(2)) +( (-4)^(2) -(-6)^(2))}$

=√((81-25)+(16-36))

=√(36)
