What is the distance between open paren negative 6 comma 2 close paren and open paren 8 comma 10 close paren on a coordinate grid?

Use the distance formula: the horizontal change is 8 − (−6) = 14, and the vertical change is 10 − 2 = 8. The distance is √(14² + 8²) = √(196 + 64) = √260, so the correct choice is square root of 260.
