Step 1 :Given points A(8,4) and B(-6,2)
Step 2 :Use the distance formula: \(Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\)
Step 3 :Substitute the coordinates of A and B: \(Distance = \sqrt{((-6 - 8)^2 + (2 - 4)^2)}\)
Step 4 :Calculate the distance: \(Distance = \sqrt{196}\)
Step 5 :\(\boxed{Distance \approx 14.14}\)
