Key Concepts

Distance on the Number Line

This concept involves viewing numbers in terms of their positions relative to zero on the number line. The distance is used to express magnitude without regard to direction, thereby making the absolute value an important measure in equations and inequalities.

Absolute Value

The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. It is a measure of magnitude that is always nonnegative, meaning that the absolute value of a negative number is its positive counterpart.
