Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
Your answer is D
hope this helps
We know that the equation of the line is in the form 
. To find b, we can use the fact that (6,-5) lies on the line, meaning that both sides of the equation are equal when x=6 and y=-5.
Hence, the equation of the line is 
, and its graph looks something like follows.

Answer:
6.4 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The question gave us the following details:
Average speed = 60mph
Time spent on trip = 8 hours
Average speed of express train on way back = 75mph
T = distance/speed
D = distance
V = speed
T = d/v
d = v(t)
d = 60 x 8
= 480
Such that
480/75
= 6.4 hours.
That is 6 hours 40 minutes is the length of time it would take on the trip home.
Thank you!
