The result will always be a negative value. The difference can be looked upon in a neutral way, or depending on the calculation, you may want to say there is a difference by a particular sign. We would normally look on the difference in a positive way. -7 - 5 is - 12. The difference between -7 and -12 is 5. However if you are going from -7 to -12 you have a -5 difference, while going from -12 to -7 you have a 5 difference. So it can depend on perspective.
A "difference" is either the result of a subtraction (the difference between 7 and 5 is 7 minus 5), or its absolute value (so that the difference between 7 and 5 is the same as the difference between 5 and 7).
7
An integer that is equal in magnitude to the sum of their absolute values. Its sign is the same as which of the two numbers you are taking the difference from. For example, for the integers 5 and -7. Their absolute values are 5 and 7 so that the sum of the absolute values is 5+7 = 12. Then 5 - (-7) = +12 and -7 - 5 = -12.
Difference means you subtract. The answer is always positive if it is just asking for the difference:7/9 -1/3 is the same as 7/9 -3/9Answer = 4/9

-5
The key difference between -2 and 5 is their numerical value on the number line. -2 is a negative integer, indicating a value less than zero, while 5 is a positive integer, indicating a value greater than zero. Additionally, -2 is two units to the left of zero on the number line, while 5 is five units to the right of zero. In terms of absolute value, -2 and 5 are both two units away from zero, but their direction on the number line distinguishes them.
-2
to find the difference between a negative number and a positive number, you do the same thing as you would do for a positive and positive number. You just subtract the smaller number (which would of course be the negative) from the larger number (the positive). example: difference between 7 and -4 7 - (-4) = 11
yes. if you think of a number line with -5 to the left and all the numbers upto 7 on the right the difference just means how many numbers do you have to move to get from -5 to 7? in this case 13. because this is just a an amount of numbers moving in any direction the answer will always be positive. even if it was -10 to -5 the answer is still 5 because you have only moved 5 places

Negative and positive terminals are reversed.

The absolute difference is more properly titled the absolute value of the difference, and refers to the actual distance two numbers are apart on the number line. This is easy to show with positive numbers. 7 - 5 = 2 5 - 7 = -2 The absolute value of -2 is 2 which makes sense because no matter which comes first, the distance between 5 and 7 (or 7 and 5) is two spaces on the number line. 7 - (-5) = 12 -5 - 7 = -12 The absolute difference of both of these is 12.
