A simple definition is that the absolute value of a number is how many places away from zero it is on a number line. Say you have the number three. The number three is three places away from zero on a number line. Say you have the number negative three. That number is also three spots away from zero on the number line. That is why there is no such thing as negative absolute values.
No!Negative ten thirds is -3.33. So we are comparing between -3.33 and -3. On the number line, -3 is to the right hand side of -3.33. And as always, on the number line, a number on the right is ALWAYS greater than ANY number which is on its left.
what is the greatest or least from the number line negative or greater
always a negative number. just think about going backwards on a number line.
A number line can have both positive and negative numbers. You can put the number line in any position, but often it is represented so that numbers to the right of zero are positive, and numbers to the left of zero, negative.
