To answer this question, we will employ the distance formula which states that the distance,
d between two points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is given by the formula:


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Now, the points given to us are (2,9) and (10,6).

Thus,
(x_1,y_1)=(2,9) and
(x_2,y_2)=(10,6)


\therefore d=√((10-2)^2+(6-9)^2)=√(73) \approx 8.54

Thus distance between the coordinates (2,9) and (10,6) rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.5 units.
