The distance between the two points can be found using the formula for calculating the distance between two points in a coordinate plane:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Given the coordinates (-6, 5) and (-6, 10), x1 = -6, y1 = 5, x2 = -6, and y2 = 10.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Distance = √((-6 - (-6))^2 + (10 - 5)^2)
Distance = √((0)^2 + (5)^2)
Distance = √(0 + 25)
Distance = √25
Distance = 5
Therefore, the distance between the two points is 5 units.
