Using the distance formula, the distance between (-8, - 3) and (-2, - 5) is calculated as follows:

√[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]
= √[(-2 - (-8))² + (-5 - (-3))²]
= √[6² + (-2)²]
= √[36 + 4]
= √40

The square root of 40 is approximately 6.32 (rounded to the nearest hundredth). Therefore, the distance between (-8, - 3) and (-2, - 5) is approximately 6.32.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation:

Using the distance formula, the distance between (-8, -3) and (-2, -5) is calculated as follows:

√[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]
= √[(-2 - (-8))² + (-5 - (-3))²]
= √[(6)² + (-2)²]
= √[36 + 4]
= √40

To the nearest hundredth, √40 is approximately 6.32.

Therefore, the distance between (-8, -3) and (-2, -5) is approximately 6.32 units.
