Absolute Value
Absolute value: a number’s distance from zero on a number line.
Integer: a whole number, or the opposite of a whole number; zero is also an integer and is
neither positive nor negative. For example, −2, 0, 14.
Opposite integers: Two integers that are the same distance from zero on a number line in
different directions. For example, 3 and −3 are opposite integers.
