Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Substituting the given points $(2, -5)$ and $(6, -7)$, we get $\sqrt{(6 - 2)^2 + (-7 + 5)^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 4} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$ units.
