Answer:

The distance between these two points is of 15.65 units.

Explanation:

Distance between two points:

Suppose we have two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

The distance between them is given by:


D=\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

In this question:

Points (-3,5) and (4,-9)

The distance is:


D=\sqrt[]{(4-(-3))^2+(-9-5)^2}=\sqrt[]{7^2+(-14)^2}=\sqrt[]{245}=15.65

The distance between these two points is of 15.65 units.
