The given triangle is a right angled at (0,0)

\Rightarrow(0,0) is the orthocentre and mid-point of line joining (-4,3) and (6,8) is the circumcentre

Since the mid-point is \left(1, \frac{11}{2}\right) then the required distance

=\sqrt{(0-1)^{2}+\left(0-\frac{11}{2}\right)^{2}}=\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2}
