Distance formula is
D= square root of x2-x1 squared plus y2-y1 squared

for (-3,5) and (-3,-9) that would be

Square root of -3- - 3 squared plus -9-5 squared

This equals 14 which makes the answer D

Step-by-step explanation: The x-factors are both -3 but the y-factors are different so you count the distance between them
