The distance between two points is given by the following expression,
[tex]c=\sqrt[]{(x_a-x_b)^2+\mleft(y_a-y_b\mright)^2}[/tex]Being (Xa,Ya) and (Xb,Yb) the two pair of coordinates. c is the distance between them.
[tex]\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[]{(-5-2)^2+(8-(-2))^2} \\ c=\sqrt[]{49+100} \\ c=\sqrt[]{149} \\ c=12.20\text{ units} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: 12.20 units separate the coordinates.
