they are both on the 2 of the y-axis, so now all you have to do is subrtact the x-axis coordinate of R by the x-axis coordinate of T. That would be (-6)-5 = -11. YOUR ANSWER IS NOT -11. Signs don't matter when your attempting to find distance. Just forget the negative sign(-). It has nothing to do with the answer.
YOUR ANSWER IS 11 UNITS!!!
