Expert Solution
Step 1

The absolute value of a number is the distance from 0 on number line.

The absolute value of -6 is 6 because distance of -6 from 0 is 6.

Absolute value measures how far is given number from zero.

Now, from given options we have to check which option has same distance as absolute -6.

option 1st is -6 and 6.

Distance between -6 and 6=6--6=12 which is not equal to absolute value of -6

Therefore, this option is not correct.

Option 2nd is -6 and 1 .

Distance between -6 and 1 =1--6=7 which is not equal to absolute value of -6.

Therefore, this option is not correct.

Option 3rd is 0 and 6.

Distance between 0 and 6=6-0=6 which is equal to absolute value of -6.

Therefore, the absolute value of -6 is equal to the distance on a number line between 0 and 6.
