Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

[tex]A(x_A;\ y_A);\ B(x_B;\ y_B)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}}[/tex]

We have:

[tex]A(-4;\ 9);\ B(5;\ -3)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(5-(-4))^2+(-3-9)^2}=\sqrt{9^2+(-12)^2}=\sqrt{81+144}\\\\=\sqrt{225}=15[/tex]
