Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The absolute value of a number is always non-negative, and it represents the distance of that number from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. Therefore, $\left| \frac { 7 } { 9 } \right| = \left| - \frac { 7 } { 9 } \right|$ because both expressions represent the same distance from zero, just in opposite directions.
