Answer:

3 units

Explanation:

Both points lie on the vertical line x = -7, so the distance between them is the difference of their y-coordinates:

-5 -(-8) = 3

The points are 3 units apart.

Distance formula:
d=√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)


d=√((-7-(-7))^2+(-8-(-5))^2)\\ d=√(0^2+(-3)^2) \\d=√(9)\\ d=3

Therefore, the distance between the points is 3 units.

Best of Luck!
