Answer 1

To find the distance between the two points $(-6,5)$ and $(-6,10)$, we can use the distance formula, but since the x-coordinates are the same, we can simply find the difference between the y-coordinates.

The y-coordinates are 5 and 10. The distance $d$ is:

$$d=|10-5|=|5|=5$$

Therefore, the distance between the two coordinates is 5.
