Question

Explain how to use a number line to find the opposite of integers 4 units away from-6

Answer 1

Answer:

The opposite of integer 4 units away from -6 is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the opposite of the opposite of a number, say 2, is the number itself.

That is:

Opposite of 2 is -2.

Then the opposite of -2 is:

- (-2) = 2

Now consider a number line.

The number that is 4 units away from -6 is -10.

• 4 units away implies moving backwards 4 units from -6.

So, the number is -10.

The opposite of -10 will be:

- (-10) = 10

Thus, the opposite of integer 4 units away from -6 is 10.
