$sqrt165$ or $12.845$ units

You can use the distance formula to find out the distance between 2 points in space.

Distance, $D=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2)$

Substituting the given values, we have,

$D=sqrt((-5-(-4))^2+(5-(-3))^2+(-6-4)^2)$

$D=sqrt((-5+4)^2+(5+3)^2+(-10)^2)$

$D=sqrt(1+64+100)$

$D=sqrt(165)$ or $D=12.845 units$
