No, that is not true. The absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. The distance of -9 to 0 is 9. 9 is not less than 4.

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

They are not correct because the "| |" signs mean absolute value. What ever is inside the signs must be positive. So -9 becomes 9 and 9 is greater than 4. So, the student is not correct.
