additive inverse
By numbers at the same distance but on opposite sides of zero.
These two numbers are:* At opposite sides of the number zero, and* At the same distance from the number zero.
additive inverse
Two numbers that are the same distance from zero on the number line but are on opposite sides of zero are opposite numbers, or opposites. The opposite of a number is called its additive inverse. The opposite of 78 is -78.
The additive inverse.
They are the numbers that are placed on a number line that are exact same distance away from 0
Opposites
Half an octagon has five sides is it is divided in two by a line joining opposite vertices. It has six sides in the dividing line joins the midpoints of opposite sides.
The opposite of 127 is -127. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is its additive inverse, which means it is the same distance from zero on the number line but in the opposite direction. Thus, while 127 is positive, its opposite, -127, is negative.
The straight line distance varies between about 340 million miles when they pass each other, and 630 million miles when they are on opposite sides of the Sun.
