Answer:

10 units

Explanation:

Use the distance formula.

The distance formula states that to find the distance between two points
(x_(1) ,y_(1)) and
(x_(2),y_(2)):
\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^(2)+(x_2-x_1)^(2) }

In this case, we have x1 = -2, y1 = -1, x2 = 4, and y2 = 7. Plugging in these values, we get:
\sqrt{(7-(-1))^(2)+(4-(-2))^(2)} = \sqrt{8^(2) + 6^(2)} = √(100) = 10

Thus, the distance is 10.
