EXPLANATION

We need to calculate the distance between the points (x₁,y₁)=(-8,-3) and (x₂,y₂)=(-3,8) applying the distance equation as shown as follows:

distance=

[tex]\text{Distance}=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Substituting terms:

[tex]\text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(-3-(-8))^2+(8-(-3))^2}[/tex]

Adding numbers:

[tex]\text{Distance}=\sqrt[]{(5)^2+(11)^2}=\sqrt[]{(25+121)}=\sqrt[]{146}[/tex]

The shortest distance is sqrt(146)
