Question

What is the absolute value of Point B labelled on the number line? A number line with point A at coordinate negative 2.2, point B at coordinate negative 1.6, and point C at coordinate 1.2. Drag and drop the answer into the box to match the correct statement. HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

The absolute value of point B on the number line is 2.2.

Explanation:

A number line is given with point A at coordinate negative 2.2, point B at coordinate negative 1.6, and point C at coordinate 1.2.

So, on the number line, all the points having negative value are on the left side of zero.

Position of the point A is -2.2,

Position of the point B is -1.6,

Position of the point C is -1.2.

The absolute value of any point on the number line is the distance of that point from zero.

So, the absolute value of point B on the number line is the distance of point B from zero which is |-2,2|=2.2.
