We are shown points A, B, C, and D on a number line.
We are asked to find out which point shows the number with the greatest absolute value?
Recall that the absolute value of a number is always positive.
The negative values of points A and B will become positive.
As you can see from the number line, point A is closer to -40 and the point D is closer to 30
The absolute value of point A will be closer to |-40| = 40
Since 40 is greater than 30, point A shows the number with the greatest absolute value.
Therefore, the correct answer is Point A.
