Answer 2

The statement that "the distance between your houses is negative three (-3) miles" is correct.

What is a cartesian coordinate?

A Cartesian coordinate system on a plane is a coordinate system in which each point is uniquely specified by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicularly oriented lines measured in the same unit of length.

If we assume that your house is the origin of a graph, and each unit square on the graph is equal to 1 square mile. Therefore, if your friend's house is exactly south of your house then it will be on the y-axis that too in the negative direction.

Therefore, the statement that "the distance between your houses is negative three (-3) miles" is correct.
