The distance between the points (-8, -2) and (6, -1) is approximately 14.04 units.

To find the distance between two points, we can use the formula: distance
$= \sqrt{((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)$

For the given points (-8, -2) and (6, -1), the distance can be calculated as follows:

Distance =
$\sqrt{((6-(-8))^2 + (-1-(-2))^2)$

$= \sqrt{((14)^2 + (1)^2)$

$= \sqrt{(196 + 1)$

=
$\sqrt{197$

Approximately, the distance is 14.04 units to the nearest tenth.
