Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An absolute value is the distance a number is from 0 on the number line. So, regardless if it is a negative or a positive number, the distance from that number to 0 will always be positive. For example, -5 is 5 units away from 0, and 5 is also 5 units from zero. They have the same absolute value, even though one is negative and the other is positive.

Answer:

You can describe absolute value as a number's (Negative or positive) distance from zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say you have 4 and -4. 4's absolute value is four because it is four number units away from zero. -4 is a negative number but its absolute value would still be positive four because it is still four number units away from zero even though those number units are negative.

sukhopar [10]

Answer: y-3=4(x+1) in point-slope form and y=4x+7 in slope intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the point-slope form by plugging the numbers into the following: y-y₁=m(x-x₁).

You will end up with y-(3)=(4)(x-(-1)) which when simplified equals y-3=4(x+1).

To find slope intercept form you know need to isolate y and simplify.

Adding 3 to both sides results in y=4(x+1)+3.

If you then distribute you get y=4x+4+3 which simplifies to y=4x+7.
