Why does every integer have an opposite?
The numbers 1,2,3,... etc are called natural numbers or counting numbers. Integers are the natural numbers plus zero plus the negative ( or opposite ) natural numbers. Why do we need negative natural numbers ? For one thing x + 1 = 0 is an equation whose solution is x = -1. We could not solve this equation if we did not have negative integers. So over history these negative numbers came about as a way to solve certain math problems. The numbers 1,2,3,... etc are called natural numbers or counting numbers.

How do number lines show that zero is is own opposite?
On a number line, zero is positioned at the center, with positive numbers to the right and negative numbers to the left. The concept of an opposite number means that when you add a number and its opposite, the result is zero. Since zero is neither positive nor negative, its opposite is itself; thus, adding zero to zero results in zero. This visually illustrates that zero is its own opposite on the number line.
