You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula you need to use is the following:
+sqrt%28+%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2+%2B+%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29%29+
Plugging in your given values this gives:
+sqrt%28+%280-9%29%5E2+%2B+%288%2B6%29%5E2%29%29+
+sqrt%28+81+%2B+196+%29+
+sqrt%28+277+%29+ which is your answer.
Hope that helps.
