3 0

Answer: the answer is absolute value.

Step-by-step explanation: The absolute value of a number is the value a number has not considering the negatives for example -3 would be 3 if we were looking for the absolute value. The absolute value is also the distance a number has from 0 on a number line. Both 3 and -3 are the same distance from ) therefore they have the same absolute value. Hope this helps!

givi [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure attached Jaxon is 10 blocks east and 5 blocks north.

So x-coordinates of Jaxon will be 10 units and y-coordinates will be 5 units.

and coordinates will be (10,5)

Similarly coordinates of Isaac will be defined by his distance towards west and distance towards south.

So x-coordinates will be 8 units and y-coordinates will be 15 units.

Therefore, coordinates of Isaac will be (-8,-15).
