What is the distance between the following points? * using the distance formula*

ANSWER
[tex]7.62\text{ units}[/tex]EXPLANATION
We want to find the distance between the two points.
To do this, apply the formula for distance between the two points:
[tex]D=\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}[/tex]where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points
The two points are (3, -9) and (6, -2).
Therefore, the distance between the two points is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=\sqrt[]{(6-3)^2+(-2-(-9))^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{3^2+(-2+9)^2}=\sqrt[]{3^2+7^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{9+49}=\sqrt[]{58} \\ D=7.62\text{ units} \end{gathered}[/tex]That is the distance between the points.
