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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

Point (-7, 1)

Point (-7, -5)

Step 2: Find distance d

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

  1. Substitute in points [Distance Formula]:
    \displaystyle d = √((-7 - -7)^2 + (-5 - 1)^2)
  2. [Order of Operations] Evaluate:
    \displaystyle d = 6
