Quite easily. Think about what the difference is between the number that you want to subtract and the number that you have. E.g I have the number 10, and I wish to subtract 6 from it: 10-6.
To get from 6 to 10, I need to add 4. So in this case, when I minus 6 from 10, I'm left with 4 remaining. So, 10-6=4
Or, let's say I have 16, and I wish to take away 10. To get from 10 to 16, I need to add 6. So whan I minus 10 from 16, I am left with 6 remaining. This means that:
16-10=6
This technique works for subtracting any integer (or any decimal).

Integers on the number line are the whole numbers.

Integers are positive and/or negative numbers. Fractions are not integers because they are not originally positive or negative. However, they can both be put on a number line and be considered an integer. Fractions aren't integers unless put on a number line. Integers don't have to be on a number line to be considered an integer.

No.If you subtract a positive number, you move to the left.If you subtract a negative number, you move to the right.
Integers on the number line are the whole numbers.
To find the distance between two integers using the difference, you simply subtract the smaller integer from the larger integer. The result will be the distance between the two integers on the number line. For example, if you have integers 7 and 3, you would subtract 3 from 7 to get a distance of 4. This method works because the difference between two integers gives you the number of units separating them on the number line.

Integers can be negative or positive numbers providing that they are whole numbers without decimals or fractions.
If you have drawn a number line counting in whole numbers, the integers are those whole number points. Any decimal numbers in between are not integers.

There are no negative integers between positive ones on the number line.

It IS on a Number Line. Set of Integers.
10 To find the units from any two integers on the number line, subtract one number from the other, and the absolute value of that number is the answer. In this case, you would write -5 - 5 = -10 or 5 - -5 = 10. The absolute value of both answers is 10.
