The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Substituting the given points $(-5, -2)$ and $(7, 2)$ into the formula gives $\sqrt{(7 - (-5))^2 + (2 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{(12)^2 + (4)^2} = \sqrt{144 + 16} = \sqrt{160} = 4\sqrt{10}$ units.
