any integer and the negative of that integer... for example 3 and -3 are the same distance from 0
They represent the same distance from zero on the number line.
These two numbers are:* At opposite sides of the number zero, and* At the same distance from the number zero.
The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero on a number line.
Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on a number line are called "opposites." For example, +5 and -5 are opposites, as they are equidistant from zero but lie on opposite sides of it. They have the same absolute value but different signs.
By numbers at the same distance but on opposite sides of zero.
Numbers the same distance from zero (linearly) have the same "absolute value" whether positive or negative.
The distance from zero on a number line is called the absolute value.
Opposites
The position of any number in a number line is determined by its distance from the zero.
A number's distance from zero on a number line is its magnitude or "absolute value."absolute value or magnitude.absolute value
The distance that number is from zero on a number line.
The same as you would a rational number. Its distance from zero will represent the number, whether it is rational or irrational.
