Answer:

The distance between the two points is √85 (approximately 9.22)

Explanation:

The formula for the distance between two points is √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)², where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points on the coordinate plane.

Here, we can use (-9, 9) for (x₁, y₁) and (-2, 3) for (x₂, y₂). Now, plug it into the equation and solve:

d = √(-2 - (-9))² + (3-9)²

d = √(7)² + (-6)²

d = √49 + 36

d = √85
