To find the distance between the two points, we can use the formula d = √[(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2].
Plugging in the coordinates (-1, 6) and (5, -2), we get:
d = √[(5-(-1))^2 + (-2-6)^2]
d = √[(5+1)^2 + (-2-6)^2]
d = √[6^2 + (-8)^2]
d = √[36 + 64]
d = √100
d = 10
Therefore, the distance between (-1, 6) and (5, -2) is 10.
