the distance a number is from zero on a number line

• inequality
• absolute value
• negative number
• positive number

-5 > -7 because. . . 

• -5 is to the left of negative 7 on number line
• -7 is less than -5 
• -5 is to the right of -7 on the number line
• -7 is to the right of negative -5 on the number line
