to find the distance b/t 2 points you need to use the distance formula. that is
distance = square root of (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
to fill it in, it is
(it doesnt matter which point you start with, as long as its consistent)
x1 = 9
x2 = 5
y1 = -8
y2 = -10
square root of (5-9)^2 + (-10-8)^2
lets do algebra!
square root of (-4)^2 + (-18)^2
square root of 16 + 324
square root of 340
Distance = 18.4391 units.
I hope this helps!
