Taylor and Jeff observed two points, P and Q, on a number line.
A number line is shown from negative 1 to positive 1 with increments of 1 over 8. A point P is shown at the seventh tick mark to the left of 0, and a point Q is shown at the seventh tick mark to the right of 0.
Jeff said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are different.
Taylor said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same.
Which of the following explains who is correct? (1 point)
a
Jeff, because the points are of different signs
b
Jeff, because the points are at different locations
c
Taylor, because each of the two points is 7 over 8 unit from 0
d
Taylor, because the distance between the two points is 7 over 8 unit
