Answer

$\approx 17.21$ units

Work Step by Step

We are given the points: $(9.5,-2.6)$ $(-3.9,8.2)$ Determine the distance between two points $(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)$ using the formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ $d=\sqrt{(-3.9-9.5)^2+[8.2-(-2.6)]^2}$ $=\sqrt{(-13.4)^2+(10.8)^2}$ $=\sqrt{296.2}$ $=\approx 17.21$
