Find the absolute value. -|-1|

-|-1|=

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The question should not be "find the absolute value". Finding the absolute value is part of this problem, but it is not the entire problem.

Think of absolute value of a number as the distance from that number to zero on the number line. A distance is not negative. It is only positive or zero. For example, the number 4 is 4 units from zero on the number line. Then the absolute value of 4 is 4. |4| = 4. Similarly, the number -4 is also 4 units from zero on the number line, so the absolute value of -4 is also 4. |-4| = 4. The absolute value of zero is zero since zero is at a distance of zero units from zero. An absolute value can only be zero or positive. It is never negative.

In your problem, you need to deal with the absolute value of -1 first. -1 is 1 unit from zero on the number line, so the absolute value of -1 is 1.

|-1| = 1

Your problem has one extra step which is the negative outside the absolute value.

-|-1| = -1
