To find the distance between two points, you can use the distance formula.
The distance formula is given by:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
For the example points (-16, 10) and (-4, -6), let's assign:
x1 = -16
y1 = 10
x2 = -4
y2 = -6
Substituting these values into the distance formula:
d = √((-4 - (-16))^2 + (-6 - 10)^2)
= √((12)^2 + (-16)^2)
= √(144 + 256)
= √400
= 20
Therefore, the distance between the points (-16, 10) and (-4, -6) is 20 units.
