Answer:
So we must determine the distance between our two given points and that can be found using the distance formula [tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex].
Plugging the values into the equation and solve
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-9-5)^2+(-2-6)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-14)^2+(-8)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{196+64}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{260}[/tex]
[tex]d=16.125\ units[/tex]
Therefore, our final answer is that the distance is 16.125 units
