Adding a negative number is the equivalent to moving to the left on a negative-positive number line.

You can count on me?
Subtracting a negative number has the same effect as adding a positive number - think of it as moving right on a number line whereas, subtracting a positive number will move you left on a number line.
The line has a negative slope (or negative gradient).When the angle between the line and the positive direction of Ox is obtuse then the slope is negative. Conversely, when the angle is acute, the slope is positive.
negative 2.6 is farther to the left
When subtracting, the number moves to the left (negative direction). When adding, the number moves to the right (positive direction).
Motion in the negative direction typically refers to movement opposite the positive direction along a specific axis or line. For example, if we consider a number line, moving to the left would be considered moving in the negative direction.
Count the distance of the number from 0, ignoring the direction in which you are moving.
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. Therefore, the absolute value of negative 210 is 210.

just think of the negative number as below the zero on the number line. just like the positive numbers are above the zero on the number line. then count out how far you have to go to get to your number. you can also treat the negative number like you a minusing that number take -3 and 7 -3 + 7 = 4 7 - 3 = 4
7 because the absolute value of a negative number is how far away it is from zero, hence the 7. hope that helps, if not you can use a number line and count from -7 to 0
The absolute value of negative five is five. Absolute value measures the distance of a number from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. Therefore, |−5| = 5.
To subtract a positive number, you go the specified number of units to the left. To subtract a negative number (which is the same as adding the corresponding positive number), you go to the right.
Moving in the negative direction typically refers to moving in the opposite direction of a positive reference point. For example, moving left on a number line or driving south when north is considered positive.
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 is always zero or positive. Therefore, by definition, the absolute value of any number will never be negative.
Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative. The absolute value of 5 is 5.
