=sqrt (145=145

Explanation:

The coordinates provided are:
(6,12) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1(6,12)=x1,y1
(-6 , 13) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2(6,13)=x2,y2

Distance is calculated using formula:
distance =sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2

=sqrt ( (-6-6)^2 + (13-12)^2=(66)2+(1312)2

=sqrt ( (-12)^2 + (1)^2=(12)2+(1)2

=sqrt (144 + 1=144+1

=sqrt (145=145
