J. 15 units
To find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the coordinates of the two points given, we get:
Distance = √((0 - 12)^2 + (4 - 9)^2)
Distance = √((-12)^2 + (-5)^2)
Distance = √(144 + 25)
Distance = √169
Distance = 13
Therefore, the distance between the points (12,9) and (0,4) is 13 units.
