It is both because above the origin it is positive and below the origin it is negative
using basic math principles, you can't find the square root of a negative number because in order for a number to be a square root, you have to multiply it by itself to get your radical. since a negative times a negative and a positive times a positive are both positive, it is impossible to find the square root of a negative number
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).
A negative plus a negative still gives a negative answer.
A positive number. Positive Number x Positive Number = Positive Number Positive Number x Negative Number = Negative Number Negative Number x Negative Number = Positive Number
That is part of the basic rules of Math: A: Multiply a Negative and a Negative will result in a Postive. B. Multiply a Negative and a Postive will result in a Negative. BTW, unlike English grammar, rules of Math are true at all times.
Compare it's position to the origin. The x coordinate is the number of units to the right of the origin. (If it is to the left of the origin the x coordinate is negative.) The y coordinate is the number of units above the origin. (If it is below, the y coordinate is negative.) The point is denoted (x,y) with the x coordinate in place of the x and the y coordinate in place of the y.

Suppose f is a negative fraction. Then |f| is the absolute value of the fraction - the value disregarding the sign. The number is graphed at a distance of |f| to the left of the origin, the zero point.
Those that have a negative number under the square root. It then has no x-intercept.
Numbers to the right of the point of origin on the x-axis are always negative.
In basic mathematics, a number line is a picture of a straight line that serves as representation of negative and positive numbers.
The negative of a negative number is a positive number.

A negative number divided by a negative number is a positive number.
