Answer 1

There's a formula for the distance between two points. Look in your math book from time to time. There's lots of useful stuff there. The formula is:

d = √( (x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)² )

where d is the distance and (x₁,y₁) = (9,-4) and (x₂,y₂) = (5,3). Plug the numbers into the formula. You'll get the square root of a number. Leave it in that form. Post your answer as a comment and I'll check it.
