Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

9-3= 6 units (since x coordinates are same). We can also show by manually counting the squares (1 square= 1 unit)

Yes, its greater. Distance from house to school is 6. Distance from school to grocery is 3-(-8)= 11. Thus, distance is 11+6= 17 units.

Distance from house to school is 6. Distance from school to community center is 1-(-4)=5. Thus, distance= 6+5=11 units.
