How do you use subtraction on coordinate line?
To subtract a positive number, you go the specified number of units to the left. To subtract a negative number (which is the same as adding the corresponding positive number), you go to the right.
Why is the number line of a number is never negative?
A number line can have both positive and negative numbers. You can put the number line in any position, but often it is represented so that numbers to the right of zero are positive, and numbers to the left of zero, negative.
What is an integer number line?
a number line that has both a positive side and a negative side.
When you add a positive and a negative number what do you get?
if the modulus (just the value ignoring the signs) of the negative number is larger than the positive number, adding the two will get you a negative number, if the positive number is larger, than modulus of a negative number you will have a positive. Can be easily demonstrated on a number line. yes
When you subtract a negative number from another negative number do you get a positive or a negative number?
always a negative number. just think about going backwards on a number line.

What are some negative integers between a positive one on the number line?
There are no negative integers between positive ones on the number line.
To add a negative number in which direction do you count on the number line?
Adding a negative number is the equivalent to moving to the left on a negative-positive number line.
What is a negative subtracted by a negative?
Subtracting a negative number has the same effect as adding a positive number - think of it as moving right on a number line whereas, subtracting a positive number will move you left on a number line.

A-1 positive or negative?
The number one on a number line would be positive. The number zero would be the middle number on a number line.

Is there smallest negative number?
the number line goes up to infinity on both negative and positive sides
Will an absolute value be graphed on the positive or negative side of the number line?
Absolute values are always positive; so graph it on the positive side of the number line.
Why does a negative multiplied by a negative equal a positive?
The answer to this is a little counterintuitive. positive X positive = positive negative X positive = negative positive X negative = negative negative X negative = positive Do you see the pattern? Two positives and two negatives will always be positive. Think of yourself standing on a number line. If you're a positive number you will be facing to the right. If you are multiplied by a positive number you will move to the right (positive). If you are negative number, you will be facing to the left, but when multiplied by a negative number you have to move backwards, which is now to the right--a positive number! Think of yourself as always facing right when a positive number and facing left when a negative number and then go forward or backward with the next number.
