Answer:

10 units

Explanation:

We are given two points on a plane;

(7 , -2) and (7 , 8)

We are supposed to determine the distance between the two points;

  • To get the distance between two points on a plane, we should use modulus formula;
  • Modulus =
    √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)

Therefore, in this case;

Distance =
√((8--2)^2+(7-7)^2)


=√(100+0)


=√(100) \\=10

Therefore, the distance between the two points is 10 units.
