What is the absolute value of point P on the number line? A number line ranging from negative two to two, with intervals of one-fourth. The origin is labeled at zero. A point P is labeled at negative one and one-fourth.
The absolute value is always positive: For example, the absolute value of -5: | - 5 | = 5 and also the absolute value of 5 : | 5 | = 5 P = - 1 1/4 The absolute value of point P. | P | = | - 1 1/4 | = 1 1/4
