Answer 1

To find the distance between the two points \((-6, 5)\) and \((-6, 10)\) on a coordinate plane, we can use the distance formula for points that have the same x-coordinate. The distance can be calculated by finding the difference between the y-coordinates.

The formula is:

\[ \text{Distance} = |y_2 - y_1| \]

Here, \(y_1 = 5\) and \(y_2 = 10\).

Calculating the distance:

\[ \text{Distance} = |10 - 5| = |5| = 5 \]

So, the distance between the two points is 5.
