An integer is a number that is a whole number of units from zero. The number that corresponds to a point on the number line is the coordinate of the point. Two vertical bars are used to indicate the absolute value of a number.

An integer is a number that is a whole number of units from zero on
the number line.
The number that corresponds to a point on the number line is the coordinate of the point. The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is from zero. Two vertical bars are used to indicate the absolute value of a number. For example, |4| 4 and |4| 4. EXAMPLES A Graph {0, 2, 4} on the number line. B Simplify |2| |4|.
