Answer:

d ≈ 12.5 units

Explanation:

calculate the distance d , using the distance formula

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0 )

substitute these values into the formula for d

d =
√((4-(-7))^2+(0-6)^2)

=
√((4+7)^2+(-6)^2)

=
√(11^2+36)

=
√(121+36)

=
√(157)

≈ 12.5 units ( to the nearest tenth )
