For 1 you can use 2 or -4, either one works.
I think this is what you are looking for:
=−12
a
b
=
−
12
+=4
a
+
b
=

(+)2=42
(
a
+
b
)
2
=
4
2
2+2+2=16
a
2
+
b
2

2
a
b
=
16
∴2+2=16+2×12=40
∴
a
2
+
b
2
=
16
+
2
×
12
=
40
Now, (−)2=2+2−2=40+2×12=64
(
a
−
b
)
2
=
a
2
+
b
2
−
2
a
b
=
40
+
2
×
12
=
64
∴(−)=64‾‾‾√=±8
∴
(
a
−
b
)
=
64
=
±
8
So, 2−2=(+)(−)
a
2
−
b
2
=
(
a
+
b
)
(
a
−
b
)
2−2=(4)(±8)=±32
a
2
−
b
2
=
(

)
(
±

)
=
±
32
Hope that helps and sorry if it is confusing!
The distance of it away from zero cannot be a negative distance, distance is always positive therefor the absolute value will always be positive.
Short answer: no, absolute value is always positive
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
8 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
8 and 2 because y=5x +3 would be 5+3 which is 8 and y= 3x - 1 would be 3 - 1 which equals 2.
