To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
Given the coordinates of the two points:
Point 1: (6, -7)
Point 2: (-6, -2)
Now, we plug these values into the distance formula:
Distance = √((-6 - 6)² + (-2 - (-7))²)
Distance = √((-12)² + (5)²)
Distance = √(144 + 25)
Distance = √169
Distance = 13
Therefore, the distance between the two points is 13 units.
