Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf d= 13}}

Explanation:

Distance can be calculated using this formula:


d= \sqrt {(x_2-x_1)+(y_2-y_1)

where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points. We are given the points (6, -9) and (1, 3). Therefore:


x_1= 6\\y_1= -9 \\x_2= 1\\y_2=3

Substitute the values into the formula.


d= \sqrt {(1-6)^2+(3--9)^2

Solve inside the parentheses.

  • 1-6= -5
  • 3--9= 3+9 = 12


d= \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (12)^2

Solve the exponents.

  • (-5)²= -5*-5 =25
  • (12)²= 12 *12= 144


d= \sqrt { 25+144}

Add and take the square root.


d=√(169) \\d= 13

The distance is 13.
