The zero on a number line serves as the central reference point separating positive and negative numbers. It represents a neutral value, indicating no quantity or balance. To the right of zero, numbers increase positively, while to the left, they decrease negatively. Zero is essential for understanding the concept of value and the relative position of other numbers.
The position of any number in a number line is determined by its distance from the zero.
The separater to make the negative and positive numbers opposites?
zero. since it is infinity the number line restarts into the negatives and goes on to zero
The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero on a number line.
If, by greater, you mean which is farther away from zero on the "number line" then the answer is neither! they are equally distant from zero. The "absolute value" of a number is the distance from zero on the number line. -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 That's what the number line middle looks like for whole numbers. -firstmate-

-11 is 11 units away from zero on a number line.
by zero line do you mean 0? or do you mean 0 with the slash in it like this /?
Zero pairs on a number line refer to pairs of numbers that sum to zero, typically one positive and one negative number. For example, on a number line, the pair (+3) and (-3) would be considered a zero pair because they cancel each other out, resulting in a total of zero. This concept is often used to illustrate the idea of balancing equations and understanding additive inverses.
One third less than zero.
The distance from zero on a number line is called the absolute value.
