To determine the distance between two numbers on a number line, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Distance} = |x_1 - x_2|
\]

In this case, \( x_1 = 6.5 \) and \( x_2 = -7.2 \).

Calculating the distance:

\[
\text{Distance} = |6.5 - (-7.2)| = |6.5 + 7.2| = |13.7| = 13.7
\]

Therefore, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is \( \textbf{13.7} \).
