What is the distance between 5 -2 and -3 4?
√[(X2-X1)2+(Y2-Y1)2]minus a negative is plus a positive√[(5+3)2+(-2-4)2]plus a negative is minus a positive√(82-62)√(64-36)√28 or 2√7
Why is the absolute value of a nonzero number positive?
The absolute value of a nonzero number is defined as the distance of that number from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. Since distance cannot be negative, the absolute value is always a positive quantity. For example, both -5 and 5 have an absolute value of 5, illustrating that absolute values are inherently non-negative. Thus, any nonzero number, whether positive or negative, will have a positive absolute value.
Why the absolute value if negative integer is a positive integer?
The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. Since distance cannot be negative, the absolute value of a negative integer is positive. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, indicating that it is five units away from zero. Thus, the absolute value function transforms negative values into their positive counterparts.
Does a positive plus a negative equal a negative?
Not necessarily. 5 + (-6) = -1, a negative 5 + (-5) = 0 or 5 + (-4) = 1, a positive.
What is the answer when you subtract a positive number and a negative number?
You know the saying two lefts don't make a right? Well, the opposite applies here. Two negatives indeed do make a positive. Say I have two numbers, 10 and -5, and I want to subtract the positive one from the negative one. 10 - (-5) <-- two negatives in a row become a positive. 10 + 5 = 15 You can verify this yourself by using a number line. The difference is visually the distance between two numbers on a number line. The distance from 10 to -5 is indeed 15.
Why do you get a positive number when you take the absolute value of a negative number?
Basically, the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero... so that distance would be 5, whether you are talking about positive 5 or negative 5, right? So, if you just ignore positive and negative for a specific number, you will have its absolute value.
What is the distance between 5 -2 and -3 4?
√[(X2-X1)2+(Y2-Y1)2]minus a negative is plus a positive√[(5+3)2+(-2-4)2]plus a negative is minus a positive√(82-62)√(64-36)√28 or 2√7
What is x when the distance between x and negative 4 is less than negative 3?
-5?
Negatives are never absolute values WHY?
The absolute value is the distance from 0 on the number line. -5 is 5 away from 0. You cannot have a negative distance, therefore you cannot have a negative absolute value. Absolute values are not ALWAYS positive because absolute values can be zero as well. Zero is not positive nor negative.

Negative minus a negative?
Positive minus a negative = positive plus a positive two negatives make a positive 3- (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4 5- (-7) = 12
What is negative 4 times negative 5 equal?
A negative times a negative is a positive (-4)(-5) = positive 20
How do you multiply a positive and a negative number?
To multiply a negative and positive just multiply regularly and then make negative ex. 6*-5=-30 In general, here are the rules for multiplying signed numbers: positive x positive = a positive 4 x 5 = +20 positive x negative = a negative 4 x -5 = -20 negative x positive = a negative -5 x 4 = -20 negative x negative = a positive -5 x -4 = +20
Which number gives the distance between psotive 27 and negative 7?
The answer to that is going to be -5 ( negative five)
What is a negative minus a ngeative?
a negative + negative = negative (ex. -10+-10=-20) a positive + negative = a positive or a negative depending on how high the negative number is (ex1. 10+-5=5 , ex2. 10+-15=-5) a positive + positive = a positive "obviously" (ex. 2+2=4) a negative - negative = positive (ex. -5--10=5) because the minus sign and the negative sign automatically turn into an addition sign.
Is a negative time a negative equals a positive?
No. It is actually a negative. Yes it is positive. Previous answer was incorrect. Negative times negative = positive. example: -5 x -5 = +25
