The given points are (-6, 1) and (2, 2).

To find the distance between these points, we need to use the following formula


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Replacing the given points, we have


d=√((2-(-6))^2+(2-1)^2)=√((8)^2+(1)^2)=√(64+1)=√(65)

Which is approximately 8.06.

Therefore, the distance between these two points is 8.06 units, approximately.
