Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Substituting the given points (-2, 6) and (3, 7) into the formula gives $D = \sqrt{(3 - (-2))^2 + (7 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{26}$.
