Answer: Approximately 11.4 units
================================================
Work Shown:
(x1,y1) is the first point (-6,-2)
(x2,y2) is the second point (5,1)
Apply the distance formula
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-6-5)^2+(-2-1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-11)^2+(-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{121+9}\\\\d = \sqrt{130}\\\\d \approx 11.4017542509913\\\\d \approx 11.4\\\\[/tex]
The distance between the two points is roughly 11.4 units.
