Answer:

8

Explanation:

(-5,6) (-5,-2)

Notice how the two points have the same x-coordinate. This means that they are directly on top of each other. To find their distance, all we need to do is subtract their y-coordinate values.

6-(-2)

Two negatives make a positive

6+2

8

Therefore, the distance between the two points is 8 units.

I hope this helps!
