Answer: +5

Explanation: When a problem is asking us to find the absolute value of a number, it's really asking us how far is that number from zero.

So the absolute value of -5 is really asking us

how far is -5 away from zero on a number line.

I have drawn a number line below and you can see that -5

is 5 units to the left of zero which means its 5 units from zero.

So the absolute value of -5 is +5.

Answer:

Because the dashed triangle is smaller than the original it's a reduction. The scale factor is 1/3 because if we look at the altitudes of the triangle, the original is 6 and the dilated is 2 and 2 / 6 = 1 / 3.
