Question

find the horizontal distance between the two
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - coordinates

Let the x - coordinate of the left - hand point be $x_1=-6$ and the x - coordinate of the right - hand point be $x_2 = 7$.

Step2: Calculate horizontal distance

The horizontal distance $d$ between two points with x - coordinates $x_1$ and $x_2$ is given by $d=\vert x_2 - x_1\vert$. So, $d=\vert7-(-6)\vert=\vert7 + 6\vert=13$.
