To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:

d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

In this case, the coordinates are (x₁, y₁) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂) = (-4, -9).

Plugging these values into the distance formula:

d = √((-4 - 2)² + (-9 - 3)²)

= √((-6)² + (-12)²)

= √(36 + 144)

= √180

≈ 13.42

So the distance between (2, 3) and (-4, -9) is approximately 13.42.
