• Distance Formula: $d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (4, 6)

Point (-7, 6)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

1. Substitute [DF]:                    $d = \sqrt{(-7-4)^2+(6-6)^2}$
2. Subtract:                               $d = \sqrt{(-11)^2+(0)^2}$
3. Exponents:                           $d = \sqrt{121}$
4. Evaluate:                              $d = 11$
