STEP 1

Assumptions1. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of the direction. It is always positive or zero.

STEP 2

The absolute value of a number can be calculated using the formula $|a-b|$ where a and b are the two numbers.

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for a and b to calculate the absolute value.
$|-9|$

STEP 4

Calculate the difference between the two numbers.
$4-9 = -$

STEP 5

The absolute value of a negative number is the number without its negative sign. So, the absolute value of -5 is5.
$|-5| =5$ So, $|4-9|=5$ .
