Answer:

9 units

Explanation:

Given: Two points on a coordinate plane are
(-5,9),\,(4,9)

To find: distance between points
(-5,9),\,(4,9)

Solution:

According to the distance formula,

Distance between points
(a,b) and
(c,d) is equal to
√((c-a)^2+(d-b)^2)

Take
(a,b)=(-5,9),\,(c,d)=(4,9)

Therefore,

Distance between points
(-5,9),\,(4,9)
=√((4+5)^2+(9-9)^2)


=√((9)^2)


=9 units
