-$(6,1)$ and $(-7,-3)$
A) 52
B) $3 \sqrt{17} \approx 12.4$
C) 9
D) $\sqrt{185} \approx 13.6$

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. For the points $(6,1)$ and $(-7,-3)$, this becomes $\sqrt{(-7 - 6)^2 + (-3 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{(-13)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{169 + 16} = \sqrt{185}$, which is approximately 13.6.
