The distance between (-5, -6) and (-3,-8) is [tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex].
Here we applied the distance formula
[tex]= \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_2)^2} \\\\= \sqrt{(-3+5)^2 + (-8 + 6)^2}\\\\ = \sqrt{4 + 4} \\\\= \sqrt{8}[/tex]
Hence, we can conclude that The distance between (-5, -6) and (-3,-8) is [tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex].
