Question

If |A| < |B| and both B and A are negative numbers, describe the location of point B in relation to point A on a number line.

Answer 1

The point A is to the right of point B. Both points are to the left of 0. The point A is closer to 0 since |A| is smaller than |B|.

|A| = distance from point A to 0 on the number line
|B| = distance from point B to 0 on the number line
