they are both on the 2 of the y-axis, so now all you have to do is subrtact the x-axis coordinate of R by the x-axis coordinate of T. That would be (-6)-5 = -11. YOUR ANSWER IS NOT -11. Signs don't matter when your attempting to find distance. Just forget the negative sign(-). It has nothing to do with the answer.
YOUR ANSWER IS 11 UNITS!!!

When two coordinates are given and asked to find distance between those points or length of line segment made by joining those points, then you can use the distance formula for 2 dimension.

The length of RT is given by:

Option D: 11

Given that:

  • A side of a polygon is named RT
  • The endpoints of RT are R(-6, 2) and T(5, 2).

To find:

Length of RT

Formula of distance between two points (x,y) and (p,q) is given by:

[tex]\text{Distance((x,y), (p,q))} = \sqrt{(x-p)^2 + (y-q)^2}[/tex]

Thus, we have:

[tex]|RT| = \sqrt{(-6-5)^2 + (2-2)^2} = 11 \: \rm units[/tex]

Thus,  the length of RT is given by:

Option D: 11
