Answer:

first option : sqrt(26) + 6 units

Explanation:

distance office to supermarket OS

OS² = (-7 - -2)² + (-5 - -6)² = (-7+2)² + (-5+6)² = (-5)² + 1² =

= 25 + 1 = 26

OS = sqrt(26)

distance supermarket to home SH

SH² = (-2 - 4)² + (-6 - -6)² = (-6)² + 0² = 36

SH = 6

so in total she travels sqrt(26) + 6 units
