Answer:

[tex]EF=3\sqrt{10}\ units[/tex]  ------> three square root of 10

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

[tex]d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]E(-1,-1)\\F(8,-4)[/tex]  

substitute the values

[tex]EF=\sqrt{(-4+1)^{2}+(8+1)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]EF=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(9)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]EF=\sqrt{90}\ units[/tex]

[tex]EF=3\sqrt{10}\ units[/tex]
