it describes the distance between 6 and - 6 on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is the distance between that number and 0.

It is shown as |x|, x is the number. Since it represents the distance from the number to 0, both absolute value of a number and absolute value of the negation of the number are equal, |x| = |-x|

If the number is 6, then |6| = |-6| = 6
