Transcript text: Explain how to use a number line to find the opposites of the integers that are 4 units away from -6 .
Enter the correct answers in the boxes.
First, count $\square$ units away from $\square$ in both directions and identify the two numbers. Then, find the numbers that are the same distance from $\square$ as the two numbers, but on opposite sides of 0 .
$\square$ .
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the starting point
The starting point on the number line is \(-6\).
Step 2: Count 4 units away from \(-6\) in both directions
From \(-6\), count 4 units to the right and 4 units to the left:
To the right: \(-6 + 4 = -2\)
To the left: \(-6 - 4 = -10\)
Step 3: Find the opposites of the identified numbers
The opposites of \(-2\) and \(-10\) are the numbers that are the same distance from \(0\) but on the opposite sides:
