Answer:
4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose we have two points:
[tex]A = (x_{1}, y_{1})[/tex]
[tex]B = (x_{2}, y_{2})[/tex]
The distance between these points is:
[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}[/tex]
In this question:
Points (-8, -9) and (-4, -10).
So the distance is:
[tex]D = \sqrt{(-8 - (-4))^{2} + (-9 - (-10))^{2}} = \sqrt{17} = 4.12[/tex]
The distance is 4.12 miles.
Rounding to the nearest mile, 4 miles.
