Question

If you start from 0, how many steps do you have to take to get to -3 ON ANY NUMBER LINE? What does the number of steps represent? PLZ I NEED THIS NOW!

Answer 1

On any number line (that has an interval of 0), you have to take three steps to get to -3. We can solve this by taking the absolute value of -3 - 0 (that's the absolute value of -3 which is 3). The number of steps represents the distance that number is from zero.

Answer 2

It depends on the number line. The most common number lines are:

1 by 1 → 3 steps to the left.

0.5 by 0.5 → 6 steps to the left.

You might also encounter a 3 by 3 number line. In that case you'll have to go one step to the lefft.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
