What is a line wxtending from the upper lift to the lower right has this type of slope?
The line has a negative slope (or negative gradient).When the angle between the line and the positive direction of Ox is obtuse then the slope is negative. Conversely, when the angle is acute, the slope is positive.
On a number line is negative 2.06 or negative 2.6 farther to the left?
negative 2.6 is farther to the left
How is adding on number line different from subtracting on a number line?
When subtracting, the number moves to the left (negative direction). When adding, the number moves to the right (positive direction).
How do you use a number line to find the absolute value of a number?
Count the distance of the number from 0, ignoring the direction in which you are moving.

How do you solve adding negative and positive problems?
just think of the negative number as below the zero on the number line. just like the positive numbers are above the zero on the number line. then count out how far you have to go to get to your number. you can also treat the negative number like you a minusing that number take -3 and 7 -3 + 7 = 4 7 - 3 = 4
What is the absolute value of negative seven?
7 because the absolute value of a negative number is how far away it is from zero, hence the 7. hope that helps, if not you can use a number line and count from -7 to 0
How do you use subtraction on coordinate line?

How far from zero is -2.5 number line?
Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative. The absolute value of 5 is 5.
What is the greaest or least from the number line negative or greater?

always a negative number. just think about going backwards on a number line.
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 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.
