The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ in a coordinate plane is given by the formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Applying this formula to the given points $(-7,-5)$ and $(7,1)$, we get $\sqrt{(7 - (-7))^2 + (1 - (-5))^2} = \sqrt{(14)^2 + (6)^2} = \sqrt{196 + 36} = \sqrt{232} = 2\sqrt{58}$, which is approximately 15.2.
