Answer:

The distance:

d = 5

Explanation:

To find the distance between points
(6,-2) and
(1,-2) , you need the distance formula:

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

-Use the given points
(6,-2) and
(1.-2) for the distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^(2) + (-2 + 2)^(2)}$

-Then, solve the formula:

$d = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^(2) + (-2 + 2)^(2)}$

$d = \sqrt{(-5)^(2) + (0)^(2)}$

$d = \sqrt{25 + 0^(2)}$

d = √(25 + 0)

d = √(25)

d = 5

So, the distance is
.
