Answer:

The distance between the pair of numbers is the absolute value of
a, or
|a|.

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:
d=|x_2-x_1|. The
xs represent points one and two. Point one is
-a, and point two is 0. Plug these into the equation, then solve:


d=|x_2-x_1|\\d=|(0)-(-a)|\\d=|a|

Therefore, the distance between the pair of numbers is the absolute value of
a, or
|a|.
