To calculate the distance between the points -5, -3 and -5, -6. We apply the following formula:

(x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

The points are:

(x₁ = -5, y₁ = -3) and (x₂= -5, y₂= -6)

We apply the above formula and solve.

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

d = √ (-5 - (-5))² + (-6 - (-3))²

d = √ 02 + (-3)² = √ 0 + 9

d = √9 = 3

The distance between the points -5, -3 and -5, -6 is 3.
