Answer:
13 units
Step-by-step explanation:
To work this out first you need to find out the distance between each coordinate on the y and x axis.
On the x axis it goes from -6 to -1 which is 5 units.
On the y axis it goes from -5 to 7 which is 12 units.
If this was drawn as a right angle triangle its bottom length would be 5 units and then 12 units up.
Then Pythagoras can be used to determine the hypotenuse.
√(5^2+12^2)=13
If this is still confusing try draw the triangle between the two points on grid paper.
Hope this helps.
