Answer:

nearest hundredth 8.944

Explanation:

d = √((x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2)

Step by step procedure:

Find the difference between coordinates:

(x2-x1) = (-9 - -1) = -8

(y2-y1) = (2 - -2) = 4

Square the results and sum them up:

(-8)2 + (4)2 = 64 + 16 = 80

Now Find the square root and that's your result:

Exact solution: √80 = 4√5

Approximate solution: 8.944
