Distance formula:

Distance = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Distance = sqrt((2-6)^2 + (-7 -1) ^2)

Exact Distance = 4 sqrt(5)

As a decimal = 8.944

Answer:

6.3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

use distance formula:  d = [tex]\sqrt{(y-y)^2 + (x-x)^2}[/tex]

d = [tex]\sqrt{(1-(-7))^2 + (6-2)^2}[/tex]

d = [tex]\sqrt{8^2 + 4^2}[/tex]

d = [tex]\sqrt{64+16}[/tex]

d = [tex]\sqrt{80}[/tex]

d = [tex]\sqrt{4 * 10}[/tex]

d = 2[tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] ≈ 6.3
