Question

Which number line best shows how to solve −8 − (−2)? (5 points)

Answer 1

A number line from negative 10 to 10 is shown, with numbers labelled at intervals of 2. An arrow is shown from point 0 to negative 8. Another arrow points from negative 8 to negative 6. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

What is a number line?

A number line is a straight line with numbers placed at equal intervals. Positive numbers are placed to the right of 0 and negative numbers are placed to the left of zero.

When a number (x) is added x unit is moved to the right while if a number (x) is subtracted x unit is moved to the left.

Now, solve -8 - (-2)

= -8 + 2=-6

So, a number line from negative 10 to 10 with numbers labelled at intervals of 2. An arrow is shown from point 0 to negative 8 then since 2 is added, we move 2 units right from negative 8 to negative 6.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
