The distance formula is of the form:
#d^2=(Deltax^2)+(Deltay)^2+(Deltaz)^2# where #Delta# stands for "change in"
Or the difference between one and the other.

Explanation:

Just we just fill in the #x,y,z# co-ordinates:
#d^2=(-2-5)^2+(2--6)^2+(6-4)^2#
#d^2=(-7)^2+(8)^2+(2)^2=49+64+4=117#

And the distance #d# is the square root of this:
#d=sqrt117~~10.82#
