To find the distance between the points \((-8, 5)\) and \((-8, -5)\), we can use the distance formula. Since both points have the same x-coordinate, we can calculate the distance by finding the difference in their y-coordinates.
The formula is:
\[
\text{Distance} = |y_2 - y_1|
\]
Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-8, 5)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-8, -5)\).
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Distance} = |-5 - 5| = |-10| = 10
\]
Thus, the distance from home to the cafe is \(10\) units.
The formula is:
\[
\text{Distance} = |y_2 - y_1|

Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Distance} = |-5 - 5| = |-10| = 10
\]
Thus, the distance from home to the cafe is \(10\) units.
