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 $(-7, -2)$ and $(3, -6)$ into the formula gives $\sqrt{(3 - (-7))^2 + (-6 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{(10)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{100 + 16} = \sqrt{116} = 2\sqrt{29}$ units.
