We need to find the absolute value of these numbers to see which one is closer to the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean is at 0.
Trina : | - 85.5 | = 85.5 meters from 0
Jessie : | 87.9 | = 87.9 meters from 0
so Trina is closer to 0 then Jessie is. <==
The reason we took the absolute value of these numbers, is because that is what the absolute value does...it tells us how many spaces away from 0 it is.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
line of reflection: <em>a fixed line directly in the middle of the pre-image and the reflected image. </em>
perpendicular: <em>two lines meeting at a 90 degree angle</em>
bisector: <em>line that divides something into two equal parts</em>
pre-image: <em>the original figure before any transformation or translation has been made</em>
reflected image: <em>the original image after being reflected across the line of reflection.</em>

Is the line of reflection a line running perpendicular, directly in the middle of the pre-image and the reflected image? Yes, always would be my answer.
