The distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line can be calculated by finding the absolute value of the difference between the two numbers.

The absolute value of (6.5 - (-7.2)) = absolute value of (6.5 + 7.2) = absolute value of 13.7 = 13.7.

Therefore, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is 13.7.
