To find the distance between the points \((-13, 12)\) and \((-13, -77)\), we can use the distance formula. However, since the x-coordinates of both points are the same (\(-13\)), we can simply find the distance by calculating the difference between the y-coordinates.

The y-coordinates are \(12\) and \(-77\). The distance \(d\) between these two points is:

\[
d = |y_2 - y_1| = |-77 - 12| = |-89| = 89
\]

So, the distance from \((-13, 12)\) to \((-13, -77)\) is \(89\).

The correct response is:

**89**
