Answer:

√85.

Hopefully this helps a bit, I don't really understand math much, but when I calculated, this is what I got:

Explanation:

Subtract your y values.

-3-4=-7

And then your x values.

-6-9=-6

You square these values.

-7²=49

-6²=36

You add these.

49+36=85

And you find the square root, giving you √85

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the distance between two points, you find the difference between the y and x values, square them, add them, and then find the square root of that.

We subtract our y values.

-3-4=-7

And then our x values.

-6-9=-6

We square these values.

-7²=49

-6²=36

We add these.

49+36=85

And we find the square root, giving us √85.

Have a wonderful day! :D
