The distance $= sqrt (185)$

$(-6,-6) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1)$

$(5,2) = color(blue)(x_2 , y_2)$

The distance is calculated using formula:
Distance $=sqrt ((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2$

$= sqrt ((5- (-6))^2 + ( 2 - (-6) )^2$

$= sqrt ((5 + 6)^2 + ( 2 + 6 )^2$

$= sqrt ((11)^2 + ( 8 )^2$

$= sqrt (121+ 64)$

$= sqrt (185)$
