• Distance Formula:
  `d = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

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 = √((-7-4)^2+(6-6)^2)`
2. Subtract:
   `d = √((-11)^2+(0)^2)`
3. Exponents:
   `d = √(121)`
4. Evaluate:
   `d = 11`
