Answer:
d=√(17)

Step-by-step explanation: Since the distance formula is
d=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1 ))^(2) + (y_(2) -y_(1))^(2), You need to plug in the values. You'll then get
d=√((1-2)^2+(5-9)^2). (1-2) equals -1 and 5-9 equals -4.
d=√((-1)^2+(-4)^2)x^(2) The next step is to solve the exponent.
d=√(1+16) Then you just need to simplify.
