Answer:

8 units

Explanation:

Points (2, 5) and (10, 5) have the same y-coordinate, so lie on the horizontal line y = 5. The distance between the points is the difference of their x-coordinates:

10 -2 = 8

The points are 8 units apart.

__

If you plot the points on a graph, you can count the grid squares between them.
