Answer:

EF = 13 units

Explanation:

Points E and F are the ends of segment EF.

Coordinates of E → (-7, -5)

Coordinates of F → (-2, 7)

Since, length of a segment joining points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is given by,

Length of segment =
√((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)

Length of segment EF =
√((-7+2)^2+(-5-7)^2)

=
√((-5)^2+(-12)^2)

=
√(169)

= 13

Therefore, length of segment EF is 13 units.
