This is kind of hard to explain, but I'm going to try. Feel free to comment questions if what I'm going to say doesn't make sense.

Absolute Value
∞ # of spaces away from zero
∞ how far away a number is from zero

1). Draw a number line.
2). Label it from -12 to 0.
3). Count on the number line from -12 to 0 and see how many units to the right you have to go to reach zero. The answer is 12, so that is the absolute value.
 |-12| = 12

The absolute value is 12. I don't know how you would use the number line to your advantage but that's because that's not how they taught me in school.

Find the gradient of the line Joining the points p(-2,6) and Q(3,-2)​
Rudiy27

Answer:

-  \frac{8}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed{gradient =  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }

(x₁, y₁) is the 1st coordinate while (x₂, y₂) is the 2nd coordinate.

Gradient of the line

=  \frac{6 - ( - 2)}{ - 2 - 3}

=  \frac{6 + 2}{ - 5}

=   - \frac{8}{5}
