Answer 2

The finish line​

Explanation:

Jonas is planning his trip using the finish line as reference point. He is using an interval scale (using meters as measurement) and the finish line = 0 meters or the starting point. Anything before the finish is negative and anything after is positive. In this case, his wife is located at 91 + 14 = 105 meters away from him. When you use an interval scale to measure distance, you must use absolute values to determine the distance because positive and negative points.
