OG 11th - Problem Solving Question 20

by doclkk » Thu Aug 06, 2009 7:26 am
Of the five coordinates associated with points A,B,C,D,E on the number line above, which has the greatest absolute value

-2
-1
0
1
2

Answer (A)

Wouldn't A and E have the same absolute value? How does -2 have a greater absolute value than 2?

Typo ?

Answer is A

check the position on point E...its not at 2, its between 1 and 2, while point A is exactly at -2.
