-3...-2...-1...0...1...2...3To find the positive number when subtracting from a (-)number is finding the Absolute Value of the sum. Another way is changing the negative number to a positive and reversing the equation.*Such as, 1-(-3)--> +3-1. So than the answer is a positive 4.* Dots represent the actual line
This is the number -0.40, so is a little less than halfway from 0 back to -1 ■

adding integers on a number linewe can show addition of whole numbers on a number line.to add a negative integermove to the left.(in negative direction)we can use patternes to add integers.to add a positive integermove to the right.(the positive direction)if you want to show the middle piont(zero)dont show a negative sign(-)nor a positive sign(+).it will just be a zero 0.

I can't physically show you a number line, but I can describe it! A number line is a straight line where numbers are placed at equal intervals. It starts at zero in the middle, with negative numbers to the left and positive numbers to the right, stretching infinitely in both directions.

If your bank account is overdrawn by 5 units then your statement will show the balance as -5. So the negative number, -5, is represented as a debt of 5 units of currency (an absolute number).
how do you show 2/5's on a number line
We assume you are graphing on a number line, not an x-y plane. Draw an "open" circle (not filled in) at -4, and a line from it across to the right end of the number line. Put an arrow on the end of the line to show that the graph continues to the right.
you put a dash where the correct number is.
by either putting the negative number first, or by putting the negative number in parentheses. Like this: -9*1=-9 1*(-9)=-9
