Question

If x = − 6, which number line shows the value of |x|? (5 points)

A number line is shown from negative 6 to positive 6 with increments of 1. All the numbers are labeled on the number line. A dot is shown on a point at 6 tick marks to the left of 0. Above the number line, a bracket is shown extending from a point at 6 tick marks to the left of zero to 0. A horizontal line is shown between the brackets, and negative 6 is written on the line.

i really need help and I'm stressed thanks

Answer 1

Answer: The second description is correct for the absolute value of x

Main details: Horizontal line from 0 to the dot 6 ticks to the left, and 6 written above the line

Step-by-step explanation: breaking it down:

A number line is shown from negative 6 to positive 6 with increments of 1. All the numbers are labeled on the number line. The first part is the same in all of the descriptions

A dot is shown on a point at 6 tick marks to the left of 0. This represents -6 on the number line.

Above the number line, a bracket is shown extending from a point at 6 tick marks to the left of zero to 0. This shows the distance between 0 and -6. Important. Absolute value is the distance between two numbers

A horizontal line is shown between the brackets, This is the measuring line 6 units long.

and 6 is written on the line. Important. It is a plain number, no negative or positive! Absolute value is just that.
