Question

Find the distance between each pair of points

Answer 1

We could use the distance formula but because the line is vertical, there is no need to use the distance formula.

First point is at (-1, -2) and the second is plotted at (-1, 3). We x-coordinates don't change. Just take the absolute value of the difference between the -2 and 3.

|3 - (-2)| =
|3 + 2| =
|5| = 5

So, 5 units is the answer.

Answer 2

The distance between both points is 5 points.
