I just answered the same question about fifteen minutes ago from someone else. Can you check the log of questions from 15 minutes ago?

anonymous · Answer

well do you think you can help with the first part?

anonymous · Answer

absolute value of -2+3i is sqrt((-2)^2 + (3)^2) = sqrt (4+9) = sqrt(13).

It represents the distance from the point -2+3i to the origin.

So both parts are answered.
