Answer:
[tex]d=10[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance Formula: [tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Step 1: Define endpoint coordinates
(2, 5)
(-6, -1)
Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(-1-5)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-6)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{64+36}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{100}[/tex]
[tex]d=10[/tex]
