We are asked to find out the distance between (1,5) and (-6,-2).We know the formula to find the distance between two points is given by -

As per question, points are -
Now that we are given the points, so we can put them into the formula and solve for distance between them.Which is -









Therefore, the distance between (1,5) and (-6,-2) is 7√2 or, 9.9 ( Approx).
