Answer: third option.

Explanation:

You need to use the formula for calculate the distance between two points:


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Given the points (0,9) (-8,-4), you can subsitutute each coordinate into the formula
d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) to calculate the distance between them.

Then, you get that the distance between these points is:


d=√((-8-0)^2+(-4-9)^2)\\d=√((-8)^2+(-13)^2)\\d=15.3

This matches with the third option.
