Distance
$=color(blue)(sqrt(362)$

The points are
$(-6,-6) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(-5,13) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

Distance can be found using formula

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

$=sqrt((-5- (-6)^2 + (13-(-6))^2$

$=sqrt((-5 +6)^2 + (13 +6)^2$

$=sqrt((1)^2 + (19)^2$

$=sqrt((1 +361)$

$=color(blue)(sqrt(362)$

What is the distance between (-6, -6) (−6,−6) (-6, -6) and (–5, 13) (–5, 13) ?
