Answer:

1)-5

2)x or 5

Explanation:

1)Just count how many steps -x is away from zero which is 5 and since we are in the negatives its -5.

2)Absolute value refers to a number's distance from zero on the number line, without taking direction into account. A number's absolute value can never be negative.
