Answer:
[tex]d=6\ units[/tex]
The distance is a positive number
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to
[tex]d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]A(-10,-2)\\B(-4,-2)[/tex]
substitute the values
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-2+2)^{2}+(-4+10)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]d=6\ units[/tex]
