Answer: B) 7 units</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
The y coordinates of the two points are the same, so we can subtract the x coordinates and apply absolute value
|R - T| = |-6 - 1| = |-7| = 7
Or we can say
|T - R| = |1 - (-6)| = |1 + 6| = |7| = 7
Either way, the two points are 7 units apart.
You could use the distance formula to get the same answer, but that's definitely overkill in my opinion. The trick mentioned above also could work if the x coordinates were the same, but the y coordinates were different. In any other case, you would have to use the distance formula.
