[tex]distance = \sqrt{x2 - x1 + y2 - y1} \\ here \\ \: \: \: \: x1 = 4 \\ \: \: \: \: x2 = 8 \\ \: \: \: \: y1 = 6 \\ \: \: \: \: y2 = 9 \\ now \: we \: have \: to \: substitute \: the \: given \: values \: in \: the \: above \: formula \\ we \: get \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{8 - 4 + 9 - 6} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{4 + 3} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{7} \\ \\ hope \: it \: helped[/tex]
