You can imagine/picture that right triangle (through (0,-2)).
\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle a=8\quad \quad b=7 }\)
\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle 8^2+7^2=c^2 }\)

you can use distance formula which go from pythogorian theorem:
\[\huge\bf d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\]
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
points are (0, 6) and (7, -2)
substitute:
\[\huge\bf\color{red}{d=\sqrt{(0-7)^2+(6+2)^2}=?}\]
