Answer:


\huge{ \bold{ \boxed{ \tt{13 \: units}}}}

Explanation:


\text{Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \:B}


\sf{ \: A(9 \:, 2)\longrightarrow{ \: (x1 \:, y1)}}


\sf{B( - 3 \: 7) \longrightarrow{(x2 \:, y2)}}


\underline{ \text{Using \: distance \: formula \:, we \: get } } :


\sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {(x1 - x2)}^(2) + {(y1 - y2)}^(2) } }


\sf{⇢ \: \sqrt{ {(9 - ( - 3))}^(2) + {(2 - 7)}^(2) } }


\sf{⇢ \: \sqrt{ {(9 + 3)}^(2) + (2 - 7) ^(2) } }


\sf{⇢ \: \sqrt{ {(12)}^(2) + {( - 5)}^(2) } }


\sf{ \: ⇢ \: √(144 + 25)}


\sf{⇢ \: √(169)}


\sf{⇢ \sqrt{ {(13)}^(2) } }


\sf{⇢ \: 13 \: units}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
