Question

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements below based on the number line diagram.

a) n<0, −n>0
b) n>0, −n<0
c) n<0, −n<0
d) n>0, −n>0

Answer 1

The correct answer is c) n<0, −n<0. The number line diagram shows a horizontal line at some negative value, indicating that both n and −n are negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is (c) n<0, −n<0.

The number line diagram shows a horizontal line at some negative value. This means that n is less than zero. Since the line is horizontal, it means that −n is also less than zero. Both n and −n are negative.

For example, if the line is at -2, then n would be any number less than -2, such as -3 or -4. And −n would be any number less than 0 but greater than -2, such as -1 or -1.5.
