d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2Distance Formula.=(66)2+(50)2Substitute (x_1,y_1)=(6,0) and (x_2,y_2)=(6,5).=(12)2+52Subtract.=144+25Evaluate the powers.=169Add.=13Simplify.\begin{align*} d&=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}&&\text{Distance Formula.}\\ &=\sqrt{(-6-6)^2+(5-0)^2}&&\text{Substitute $(x\_1,y\_1)=(6,0)$ and $(x\_2,y\_2)=(-6,5)$.}\\ &=\sqrt{(-12)^2+5^2}&&\text{Subtract.}\\ &=\sqrt{144+25}&&\text{Evaluate the powers.}\\ &=\sqrt{169}&&\text{Add.}\\ &=13&&\text{Simplify.} \end{align*}
