They will be the same absolute value with opposite signs. They don't even have to be integers.
Any negative/positive number pair will give you two integers that are equidistant from 0. For instance 1 and -1, or 234 and -234. The distance from zero is referred to as the "absolute value" of the number.
These two numbers are:* At opposite sides of the number zero, and* At the same distance from the number zero.
By numbers at the same distance but on opposite sides of zero.
will always be zero
Integers are the "counting numbers" and their negative counterparts, and zero. Opposite integers are the pairs of integers that have the same absolute value, or, in other words, are the same distance from zero. 10 and -10 are opposite integers. 43 and -43 are opposite integers. It's just that simple.
You could call them a pair of additive inverses.

Integers. They are pretty much any whole number. (This includes negative numbers)

Opposite numbers.
Opposites
Negative and Positive numbers. Ex. -4 & 4 are the same distance from zero which is 4.
Quotient positive: Both integers have the same sign: both positive or both negative. Quotient zero: The first integer is 0. Quotient negative: The integers have opposite signs: one positive and one negative.
