To determine the distance between the numbers 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line, you can use the formula for distance:
\[
\text{Distance} = |a - b|
\]
where \(a\) and \(b\) are the two numbers.
So, we calculate:
\[
\text{Distance} = |6.5 - (-7.2)|
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
|6.5 + 7.2| = |13.7| = 13.7
\]
Therefore, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on a number line is **13.7**.
