Find the distance between the points (–4,–12) and (–4,16).

To find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane, we can use the distance formula. However, in this case, since the x-coordinates of both points are the same (-4), the points are vertically aligned. This means we can simply subtract the y-coordinates to find the distance.

The y-coordinates are -12 and 16.

So, the distance is |16 - (-12)| = |16 + 12| = 28 units.
