Which of the following expressions shows how to rewrite 5 − 6 using the additive inverse and displays the expression correctly o

n a number line? (5 points) The expression 5 minus negative 6 is written on top. A number line from negative 10 to positive 10 is shown, with numbers labeled at intervals of 1. An arrow is shown from point 0 to 5. Another arrow points from 5 to negative 6. The expression 5 minus negative 6 is written on top. A number line from negative 10 to positive 10 is shown, with numbers labeled at intervals of 1. An arrow is shown from point 0 to 5. Another arrow points from 5 to 6.

The correct display of the expression on a number line is number line (c)

<h3>How to determine the expression that shows how to rewrite 5 − 6 using the additive inverse?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

The expression is given as:

5 - 6

Put 6 in a bracket.

So, we have:

5 - 6 = 5 - (6)

Express 6 as --6

So, we have:

5 - 6 = 5 - -(-6)

Rewrite as:

5 - 6 = 5 + (-6)

The above means that the arrow on the number line must start from 5 and moves in the negative direction in 6 units

The correct display of the expression on a number line is number line (c)
