Explanation:

Hi there!

Given;

Point Q is located at (-4, 6). Point R is located at (8, 6).

Note: Use distance formula.

Now;

$(d) = \sqrt{( {x2 - x1)}^(2) + ( {y2 - y1)}^(2) }$

Keep all values;

$(d) = \sqrt{ {(8 + 4)}^(2) + ( {6 - 6)}^(2) }$

Simplify;

$(d) = \sqrt{( {12)}^(2) }$

Therefore, the distance is 12 units.

Hope it helps!
