distance $= color(blue)(sqrt(296)$

The points are

$(4,7 ) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(-6,-7 ) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The distance is calculated using formula

distance $= sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2$

$= sqrt((-6-4)^2+(-7-7)^2$

$= sqrt((-10)^2+(-14)^2$

$= sqrt((100 +196)$

$= sqrt((296)$

What is the distance between (4, 7)(4, 7) and (-6, -7)(-6, -7)?
