Understand the Integers have not only a positive or negative value but also a direction
Positive Integers go right of zero on a horizontal number line and up from zero on a vertical line
Negative Integers go left of zero on a horizontal number line and down from zero on a vertical line
Absolute Values represent the unit value distance/length from zero - that is why the absolute value of positive numbers and negative numbers is always positive. Length/Distance is measured in positive units.
