$57$ is $57$ units away from $0$ on a number line, so $\abs{57}=57\text{.}$ Another way to think about this is that the “positive version” of $57$ is $57\text{.}$

$-43$ is $43$ units away from $0$ on a number line, so $\abs{-43}=43\text{.}$ Another way to think about this is that the “positive version” of $-43$ is $43\text{.}$

$\frac{2}{-5}$ is $\frac{2}{5}$ units away from $0$ on a number line, so $\abs{\frac{2}{-5}}=\frac{2}{5}\text{.}$ Another way to think about this is that the “positive version” of $\frac{2}{-5}$ is $\frac{2}{5}\text{.}$
