Question

Use the number line to find the difference.

2-6
-10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
O A. -8
B. 4
O C. -3/
O-4

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer is **-4**.

The number line shows that 2 is to the right of 6 on the number line. This means that 2 is greater than 6. To find the difference between 2 and 6, we can subtract 6 from 2. 2 - 6 = **-4**.

The other choices are incorrect. A is incorrect because 2 is greater than 6, so the difference between them cannot be 8. B is incorrect because 4 is the sum of 2 and 6, not the difference. C is incorrect because -3/4 is not a real number.
