To check which set of vertices forms a square with a side length of 7 units, we can calculate the distances between the vertices in each option.

1. **Set 1:** (6,8), (13,8), (13,2), (6,2)
- Distance between (6,8) and (13,8): \( \sqrt{(13-6)^2 + (8-8)^2} = \sqrt{7^2} = 7 \)
- Distance between (13,8) and (13,2): \( \sqrt{(13-13)^2 + (8-2)^2} = \sqrt{6^2} = 6 \) (not a square)
- **Not a square.**

2. **Set 2:** (−3,4), (4,4), (4,−3), (−3,−3)
- Distance between (−3,4) and (4,4): \( \sqrt{(4+3)^2 + (4-4)^2} = \sqrt{7^2} = 7 \)
- Distance between (4,4) and (4,−3): \( \sqrt{(4-4)^2 + (4+3)^2} = \sqrt{7^2} = 7 \)
- Distance between (4,−3) and (−3,−3): \( \sqrt{(-3-4)^2 + (-3+3)^2} = \sqrt{7^2} = 7 \)
- Distance between (−3,−3) and (−3,4): \( \sqrt{(-3+3)^2 + (4+3)^2} = \sqrt{7^2} = 7 \)
- **This does form a square of side length 7.**

3. **Set 3:** (−2,5), (−5,5), (−5,−2), (−2,−2)
- Distance between (−2,5) and (−5,5): \( \sqrt{(-5+2)^2 + (5-5)^2} = \sqrt{3^2} = 3 \) (not a square)
- **Not a square.**

4. **Set 4:** (−1,5), (7,5), (7,−1), (−1,−1)
- Distance between (−1,5) and (7,5): \( \sqrt{(7+1)^2 + (5-5)^2} = \sqrt{8^2} = 8 \) (not a square)
- **Not a square.**

Thus, the only set of vertices that forms a square with a side length of 7 units is **Set 2:** (−3,4), (4,4), (4,−3), (−3,−3).
