(-3,-2) and (-8, -2) Find the distance between 2 points

To find the distance between two points \((-3,-2)\) and \((-8, -2)\) in a 2D coordinate plane, we use the distance formula:

1. The distance formula is:

d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

2. Substitute the given points \((-3, -2)\) and \((-8, -2)\) into the formula:

d = \sqrt{((-8) - (-3))^2 + ((-2) - (-2))^2}

3. Simplify the expression inside the square root:

d = \sqrt{(-8 + 3)^2 + (0)^2}

d = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + 0}

4. Calculate:

d = \sqrt{25}

5. Hence, the distance between the points is:
