The modulus would be described as the distance between, it is without direction and would therefore always be positive.

At the basic level, the modulus of a number or expression is simply the value of the number or of the expression. For a positive number the modulus is the number, for 0 it is 0, and for a negative number, x, it is -x (which is positive).
Subtraction followed by modulus does difference.
if the modulus (just the value ignoring the signs) of the negative number is larger than the positive number, adding the two will get you a negative number, if the positive number is larger, than modulus of a negative number you will have a positive. Can be easily demonstrated on a number line. yes
In mathematics, the modulus of a real number is its numerical value without regard to its sign. So, for example, 3 is the absolute value of both 3 and −3. When graphing a modulus function, f(|x|), graph the function f(x) ignoring the modulus and simply reflect any values below the x-axis (negative values) so they become positive.
Its absolute value (or modulus).
