Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{73}[/tex] units
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Think of it as a triangle. (-5, 2) is the starting point (one vertex). Use pythagorean theorem to solve.
Leg 1: 8 units (to right)
Leg 2: 3 units (upwards)
Leg 3: [tex]8^{2} +3^{2} = x^{2}[/tex]
Solve for x because hypotenuse gives the distance between the two points.
