Answer:

Explanation:

1). Coordinates of Art → (1, -5).

Coordinates of Library → (1, 9)

Coordinates of Science → (-5, -5)

Distance between Art and Library =
√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

=
√((1-1)^2+(9+5)^2)

= 14 units

Distance between Art and Science =
√((1+5)^2+(-5+5)^2)

= 6 units

Since 14 > 6,

Art is closer to Science than Library.

Answer is False.

2). Coordinates of Cafeteria → (-7, 9)

True.
