Since Point A represents an elevation below sea level, it will have a negative value on the number line. Let's denote the value of Point A as \( A = -d \), where \( d \) is a positive distance below sea level.
Point B is plotted above 0 at a distance exactly equal to the distance of Point A from 0. Since Point A is \( -d \), its distance from 0 is \( |A| = d \). Therefore, Point B must be positioned \( d \) units above 0, which gives it a positive value.
Thus, we can express the value of Point B as \( B = d \). In summary:
- Point A is below sea level and negative (e.g., \( -5 \) if \( d = 5 \)).
- Point B is directly above sea level and positive, at the same numerical distance from 0 (e.g., \( 5 \) if \( d = 5 \)).
Point B is the positive counterpart of Point A in terms of distance from 0 on the number line.
