Answer:
15 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 10, 7)
d = [tex]\sqrt{(-10+1)^2+(7+5)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(-9)^2+12^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{81+144}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{225}[/tex]
= 15 units
