The points (-8,0) & (-8,6)
To find the distance between then
Apply the distance formulae for coordinates:
[tex]\text{ Distance=}\sqrt[]{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]
Substitute the coordinates:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Distance=}\sqrt[]{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2} \\ \text{ Distance=}\sqrt[]{(6-0)^2+(-8-(-8))^2} \\ \text{ Distance=}\sqrt[]{6^2+0} \\ \text{Distance =6 units} \end{gathered}[/tex]
So, Icecream is 6 units away from the sprinkles
