Answer:

distance is 14.04

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance between 2 points is the Hypotenuse of the right angled triangle of the x and y coordinate differences.

we use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

c = the Hypotenuse (the side of the triangle opposite to the 90 degree angle).

the x difference

-8 - 6 = -14

the y difference

-2 - -1 = -1

c² = -14² + -1² = 196 + 1 = 197

c = sqrt(197) = 14.04
