Answer 1

To find the distance Isabella walks from her house at (-3, -5) to the candy store at (-3, 1), we need to calculate the difference in the y-coordinates since the x-coordinates are the same.

The y-coordinates are:
- Starting point (house): -5
- Ending point (candy store): 1

The difference in the y-coordinates is:
1 - (-5) = 1 + 5 = 6

Since each block is equivalent to 2 miles, we calculate the total distance in miles:
Distance in blocks = 6
Distance in miles = 6 blocks * 2 miles/block = 12 miles

Therefore, the distance Isabella walks is **12 miles**.
