Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ in a plane is given by the formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. For the points (-8,-5) and (-2,3), the distance is $\sqrt{(-2 + 8)^2 + (3 + 5)^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$.
