Answer:

d =
√(89) ≈ 9.43

Explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = n(1, - 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = q(6, - 9 )

d =
√((6-1)^2+(- 9-(-1))^2)

=
√(5^2+(- 9+1)^2)

=
√(25+(-8)^2)

=
√(25+64)

=
√(89)

≈ 9.43 ( to 2 decimal places )
