Answer:

9

Explanation:

  • The vertical distance means you are moving directly up or directly down
  • So which axis is vertical? The y axis right?
  • So what is difference between each y coordinate?

  • distance=|y_2-y_1|=|3-(-6)|=|9|=9
  • The upstanding braces you see mean magnitude or absolute value
  • It prevent the answer from being negative in short. because distance can't be negative
