Answer:

Length is 62 units or 8.49 units

Explanation:

Length formular:


length = \sqrt{ {(x _(2) - x_(1)) }^(2) + {(y_(2) - y_(1))}^(2) }

x1 is 2

x2 is -4

y1 is 3

y2 is 9


length = \sqrt{ {( - 4 - 2)}^(2) + {(9 - 3)}^(2) } \\ \\ = \sqrt{ {( - 6)}^(2) + {6}^(2) } \\ \\ = √(36 + 36) \\ = √(2 * 36) \\ = √(2) * √(36) \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{= 6 √(2) }}} \\ = 8.49 \: units
