Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Plugging in the given points, we get $D = \sqrt{(7 - (-2))^2 + (-5 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{9^2 + (-6)^2} = \sqrt{81 + 36} = \sqrt{117} = 3\sqrt{13}$.
