To find the distance between the grocery at coordinates (7, -8) and the post office at (7, 5), we can use the distance formula. However, since both points have the same x-coordinate (7), we can find the distance simply by calculating the difference in the y-coordinates.
The y-coordinates are -8 and 5. The distance between the two y-coordinates is:
\[
\text{Distance} = |y_2 - y_1| = |5 - (-8)| = |5 + 8| = |13| = 13
\]
So, the grocery is 13 units away from the post office.
