Answer:

6

Explanation:

Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 12, 4)

d =
√((-12+6)^2+(4-4)^2)

=
√((-6)^2+0^2) =
√(36) = 6

Answer:

d = 6

Explanation:

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

Givens

x2 = -12

x1 = -6

y2 = 4

y1 = 4

Solution

d = sqrt (-12 - - 6)^2 + (4 - 4)^2 )

d = sqrt ( ( - 6)^2 + 0)

d = sqrt(36)

d = 6
