Question

Match the number with its opposite. Match Term Definition 9.2 A) 2.9 −2.9 B) −4.1 −1.4 C) −9.2 4.1 D) 1.4

Answer 1

We have these opposite pairs

• 9.2 and -9.2
• 2.9 and -2.9
• 1.4 and -1.4
• 4.1 and -4.1

So all we're doing is matching each positive number with its negative version. In terms of a visual, the opposite of a number is mirrored over 0 on the number line. So for instance, the opposite of 2 is -2, with each being two units away from 0 on the number line.
