Explanation:

Step1: Identify the coordinates

The two points are \((-6.1,-8.4)\) and \((-6.1,-4.2)\). Since the \(x -\)coordinates are the same (\(x_1=x_2 = - 6.1\)), we use the formula for the distance between two points with the same \(x -\)coordinate: \(d=\vert y_2 - y_1\vert\). Here, \(y_1=-8.4\) and \(y_2=-4.2\).

Step2: Calculate the absolute - value difference

\(\vert-4.2\vert-\vert-8.4\vert\) is incorrect. The correct formula is \(\vert y_2 - y_1\vert=\vert-4.2-(-8.4)\vert\).
