Given the endpoints:

(x1, y1) ==> (-5, 2)

(x2, y2) ==> (-5, -4)

Let's find the distance between the two points.

Here, we have a vertical line.

To distance will be the absolute value of the difference of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

To find the distance, we have:

Distance = |-4 - 2| = |-6| = 6 units

Therefore, the distance between the two points is 6 units.
