Answer:

15.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have two points:

[tex]A = (x_{1}, y_{1})[/tex]

[tex]B = (x_{2}, y_{2})[/tex]

The distance between these points is:

[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}[/tex]

So, for points (-5, -10) and (2, 4)

[tex]D = \sqrt{(2 - (-5))^{2} + (4 - (-10))^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]D = \sqrt{7^{2} + 14^{2}[/tex]

[tex]D = 15.65[/tex]

So the correct answer is:

15.65
