From the question to get the distance, we use the distance formula.
d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
The points given are:
(-5, -3) (8, -2)
x1 = -5
x2 = 8
y1 = -3
y2 = -2
Inputting into the formula:
d = √(8 - (-5))² + (-2 - (-3))²
d = √(8 + 5)² + (-2 + 3)²
d = √(13)² + (1)²
d = √(169 + 1)
d = √170
d = 13.0384
d = 13 (To the nearest unit).
Therefore, the correct option is A, which is 13.
