The distance between the points A(0,6) and B(0,-2) is

It is given the points A(0,6) and B(0,-2).
The distance formula between two points (

a_{1}

b_{1}

) and (

a_{2}

b_{2}

) =

\sqrt{(a_{2} - a_{1})^{2} + (b_{2} - b_{1})^{2}}

Let

a_{1}

= 0,

a_{2}

= 0,

b_{1} = 6

and

b_{2}

= -2.
The distance between points A(0,6) and B(0,-2),

Distance = \sqrt{(0 - 0)^{2} + (- 2 - 6)^{2}} ​

\Rightarrow Distance = \sqrt{0 + (- 8)^{2}}

\Rightarrow Distan c e = \sqrt{0 + 64}

\Rightarrow Distance = 8

Therefore, the distance between the points A(0,6) and B(0,-2) is 8.
Hence, the required option is 2.
