Answer:

6

Explanation:

You will recognize that these points both have the same x-coordinate, so are on the vertical line x=2. The distance between them will be the difference of the y-coordinates:

6 - 0 = 6

The points are 6 units apart.

__

If you like, you can use the distance formula.

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

The values of these parameters are ...

x1 = 2, y1 = 0

x2 = 2, y2 = 6

Then the distance is ...

d = √((2 -2)² +(6 -0)²) = √(0 +36) = 6

The distance between the points is 6 units.
