The given points are L(-7,7), and N(-1,2)
We have to use the distance formula
[tex]d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]Replacing the given points, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} d_{LN}=\sqrt{(2-7)^2+(-1-(-7))^2} \\ d_{LN}=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{25+36}=\sqrt{61} \\ d_{LN}\approx7.8 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the distance is 7.8, approximately.
