Answer:
6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distance formula, [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}[/tex].
Plug the x and y values from the given points into the distance formula:
[tex]\sqrt{([-4]-2)^{2}+(5-5)^{2}}[/tex].
Solve the square root:
[tex]\sqrt{36}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{6^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]6[/tex]
