B and A

Step-by-step explanation:

So based on the facts given, we know that b and a both have the same abasolute value. It does not matter whether a or b is negative or positive.

On a number line, b, is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction. The number b varies directly with number a. For example b = 11/4 when a = - 11/4A) b=-aB) - b=-aC) b-a=0D) b (-a) = 0

On a number line, b, is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction. The number b varies directly with number a. For example b = 11/4 when a = - 11/4

A) b=-a

B) - b=-a
