Answer: Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, the absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on a number line. We know that the distances cannot be negative. Then:
![|-a|=a](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7C-a%7C%3Da)
We can assume that the water is at level 0.
We know that the diver dove from a diving platform, which is 4 feet above the water, and then she stopped at -8 feet to pick up some scallops.
This indicates that she stopped at 8 feet below the water.
Therefore, in order to find how far below the diving platform the diver is, we must add 4 feet and the absolute value of -8 feet.
Then, the expression that models this situation is:
![4+|-8|](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%2B%7C-8%7C)
Notice that it matches with the expression shown in Option D.
If you look at wheee the 2 lines meet the point is (1,1) I can’t be infinite because infinite would mean both lines are on top of each other anyways the answer is (1,1)
The answer to this problem is C. draw a closed circle on -5 and shade to the left
