The distance between the points $(-8, 0)$ and $(0, 6)$ is 10 units.

Would you like a detailed explanation of how this was calculated? If so, feel free to ask.

Here are 5 related questions:

1. How can you find the midpoint between two points?
2. How do you find the slope of the line passing through two points?
3. Can the distance formula be derived from the Pythagorean Theorem?
4. What is the equation of a circle with these two points as the endpoints of the diameter?
5. How can you calculate the area of a triangle given three points?

Tip: The distance formula is essentially the Pythagorean theorem applied to the difference between two points on a coordinate plane.
