Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Incomplete question, as the number line is not attached. However, the solution is as follows:

Let y be the absolute value of -1/2 So:


y = |-(1)/(2)|

The absolute sign removes all negation. So:


y = (1)/(2)

This means that the point at the label
(1)/(2) or
0.5 is the solution to the question.

Take for instance, the attached image has point Q at
(1)/(2).

Hence, Q is the absolute value of -1/2
