Question

3) As you approach zero from the left on a number line, the integers, but the absolute values of those integers

A) increase, decrease
B) decrease, increase
C) increase, increase
D) decrease, decrease

Answer 1

A, As you move towards zero from the left the numbers increase as in -3 to -2 it is greater as you go closer to zero . The absolute values decrease because let’s say you go from -4 to -3 the absolute value of -3 is 3 whereas the absolute value of -4 is 4 (4 is greater than 3) so it decreases the absolute value as you go to zero.
