−89

Answer 1

The distance can be calculated using the distance formula:

√[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

For the given points (-13, 12) and (-13, -77), the x-coordinates are the same, so the formula simplifies to:

√[(0)^2 + (-77 - 12)^2] = √[(-77 - 12)^2] = √[(-89)^2] = 89

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

The correct answer is:
89
