Hi !


|-9| represents the module of the number -9 or the absolute value of this number.


We know that every module is positive, so |-9| = 9


Here's the general formula :

|x| = x for x>0
|x| = -x for x<0

We need to find the absolute value because the to lines represent absolute value. Absolute value is the distance from 0 and distance is Alabama positive. So, how far away is -9 from 0? Nine places, right? So, |-9| is +9 or just 9. Hope this helped!
