The 2 points marked on the graph are :-

(2, 3) & (-7, -4)

Here,

=》x₁ = 2

=》y₁ = 3

=》x₂ = -7

=》y₂ = -4

Using distance formula....

√(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

= √(-7 - 2)² + (-4 - 3)²

= √(-9)² + (-7)²

= √81 + 49

= √130 (in radical form)

= 11.4 (approx......in standard form)

♧ The distance between the 2 points is √130 units.

______

Hope it helps ⚜
