Help fast Please What is the vertical distance between
(-3, -2.5) and (-3, 5)?

What I can tell is that they both share the same x coordinate. To help you understand, the horizontal line is from left to right, think of "The sun setting in the horizon.", it is often in the distance as a "left to right" line. So, I hope that helps, this leaves the vertical line as up or down.

With that out of the way, the x-axis lies on the horizontal line, whereas the y-axis lies on the vertical line.

Point coordinates are typically listed as (x, y), so... with that said, to find the distance we'll have to count downwards. As we know, negative x is to the left, negative y is further down, so... -3 to -12 is 9 points away.

Simple method: -3 - 9 = -12, or... -12 - -3 = -12 + 3 = -9.
In other words you get the basic idea, you can also just count, but whatever.

I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^
