<h3>What direction is being referred to in the above Question?</h3>The direction being referred to is the direction of the number on a numerical scale or Linear Scale.
In the attached linear scale, we can see that the arrow stops at 11. This is arrived at by expanding the bracket:
7 - (-4)
the subtraction signs cancel out each other creating a positive sign. Hence we have:
7 + 4
= 11.
Hence, 11 is 4 units away from 7 in the negative direction. That is going toward zero is negative or a reduction hence, to get to 7 you need to go toward the negative section of the scale.
