We'll see the house (-9,5)and the subway stop (7,-6) with points as per given:
--->
Similar to Pyth.Theorem, the Distance Formula will be:
D%5E2=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%5E2%2B%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2
D%5E2=%28-6-5%29%5E2%2B%287-%28-9%29%29%5E2=%28-11%29%5E2%2B%2816%29%5E2=121%2B256=377
D=sqrt%28377%29=highlight%2819.4%29, Answer
