To determine the distance between two numbers on a number line, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = |a - b|
\]
where \( a \) and \( b \) are the two numbers.
In this case, let \( a = 6.5 \) and \( b = -7.2 \).
Now, calculate the distance:
\[
\text{Distance} = |6.5 - (-7.2)| = |6.5 + 7.2| = |6.5 + 7.2| = |13.7| = 13.7
\]
The distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is **13.7**.
