Answer:

B: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given two points as

(2, - 12) and  (-11, - 12)

so,

[tex]x_1=2,y_1=-12[/tex]

[tex]x_2=-11,y_2=-12[/tex]

now, we can use distance formula

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

now, we can plug values

[tex]d=\sqrt{(-11-2)^2+(-12+12)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(-11-2)^2+0}[/tex]

[tex]d=13[/tex]

So,

The distance is 13
