What is the distance between the points (2, -6) and (-1, 7)?

The correct answer is: 11

The distance between two points is calculated using the formula d = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2. Option A The distance between the given points is not 9 because when we plug in the coordinates into the formula, the result is not 9. Option C: The distance between the given points is not 14 because when we plug in the coordinates into the formula, the result is not 14. Option D: The distance between the given points is not 4 because when we plug in the coordinates into the formula, the result is not 4. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as when we plug in the coordinates (2, -6) and (-1, 7) into the formula, the result is √(-3)^2 + (-13)^2 = √9 +
