Answer:
distance = 13 units
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2 , -6)=(x1 , y1)
(-7 , 6)=(x2 , y2)
distance formula:
=[tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{{(-7-(-2)}^2 + {6-(-6)}^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{(-7+2)^2 + (6+6)^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{(-5)^2 + (12)^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{25+144}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{169[/tex]
=13 units
