Ruler PostulateThe ruler postulate states that: Every point on a line can be paired with a real number.The number associated with a point A on the line is called the coordinate of A.Two arbitrary points can be paired with the numbers 0 and 1, defining the length of a unit.The distance between any two points A and B is designated AB.The distance between two points A and B can be found by taking the absolute value of the difference of their coordinates: AB = |A - B|. Note that this implies that a distance is always positive.

The 'x' coordinate of B is the average of the 'x' coordinates of A and C. The 'y' coordinate of B is the average of the 'y' coordinates of A and C.
it is asking for the absolute value of that number example: |-4| = 4 |4| = 4
Two bars on either side of a number means absolute value. Absolute value is the distance of the number from zero. That is why the absolute value of a number is never negative, it only asks how far, not in what direction. |3| = 3. |-3| = 3. It's pretty much the number that is on the inside of the bars except always the positive version. If there is a negative sign (-) on the outside, then it would work like this. -|3|= -(3) = -3. -|-3| = -3. If you still didn't understand, here is a link.

On a number line does 2 or - 2 represent the absolute value of -2?
The question cannot be answered because it is based on the incorrect premise that it is not necessary in the second case.
Yes. The absolute value of two numbers is ALWAYS positive. This is because absolute value means "the number of spaces a number is from zero on a number line.
That would be -4. The absolute value of -4 is 4, a difference of 8.
you look how the difference is and then you multiply it by the other number and then you are answer should be the product.
6 + 5n < |n - 1| I have used the absolute value for "difference". This is, unfortunately, an ambiguous term. The absolute value is the difference between the numbers - irrespective of the sign.
The range is the difference between the largest and the smallest number in a list of numbers. (usually a larger number.)An interval is the difference between two plotted coordinates on a grid. (usually a small number.)
The absolute value of the answer is the difference between the absolute values of the two numbers and the sign associated with it is the same as that of the number with the greater absolute value.
This is best done if the complex number is in polar coordinates - that is, a distance from the origin, and an angle. Take the square root of the argument (the absolute value) of the complex number; and half the angle.
All complex number that can be represented by the coordinates of points on the unit circle, that is, the circle with its centre at the origin and a radius of 1 unit.
The distance between two numbers is the absolute value of their difference.
