To find the distance between the points \((-13, 12)\) and \((-13, -77)\), we can use the distance formula, but since both points share the same x-coordinate (\(-13\)), we only need to find the difference in the y-coordinates.
The y-coordinates are \(12\) and \(-77\). The distance \(d\) is given by:
\[ d = |y_2 - y_1| = |-77 - 12| = |-89| = 89 \]
Thus, the distance from \((-13, 12)\) to \((-13, -77)\) is \(89\).
The correct answer is \(89\).
