Does every real number have an opposite?
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
What is the real number that corresponds to a point on a number line?
It is the distance from the origin (point 0) to the given point, taking account of the scale.
Does every number have an opposite?
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
Does real number line correspond to an irrational number?
No. The real number line corresponds to rational AND irrational numbers.
Is the real number 1.21?
1.21 is a real number that can be found on the number line
What is the real number represented by a point on a number line?
It is the real number whose length represents the distance from the zero on the line to the point on the line.
How are absolute values used in real life?
by seeing how far the distance is from the number line
What is a point on a number line that corresponds to a real number?
It is a representation where the distance from a reference point - the origin - represents the value of the number.

What is the real number that corresponds to a point on a line or graph?
It is a representation where the distance from a reference point - the origin - represents the value of the number.
Why is it that when subtracting an integer gives the same result as adding the opposite?
Because of the definition of addition and subtraction. When looking at a real number line: when you add you move to the left or up, when you add the opposite of a number you move in the opposite direction.

It is the distance from the origin (point 0) to the given point, taking account of the scale.
Does every real number have two qualities - a sign and a distance from zero?
Yes. Real numbers are points along a continuous infinite number line with its midpoint at 0.
Is distance between two distinct points on the real number line is always greater than zero?
Yes, because the distance is a metric which is defined in that way.
