To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
For the points (-2, -7) and (6, 8), we can substitute the values into the distance formula:
d = √((6 - (-2))^2 + (8 - (-7))^2)
d = √((6 + 2)^2 + (8 + 7)^2)
d = √(8^2 + 15^2)
d = √(64 + 225)
d = √289
d ≈ 17
So, the distance between the two points (-2, -7) and (6, 8) is approximately 17.
