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.
Yes, zero pairs have the same absolute value. A zero pair consists of two numbers that are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, such as +x and -x. Since the absolute value of a number is defined as its distance from zero on the number line, both numbers in a zero pair have the same absolute value, which is |x|. In the case of zero itself, the absolute value is 0, reinforcing the concept that zero pairs share this property.
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
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-

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero on a number line.
-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 /?
A pair of numbers with a positive and negative sign where the sum is zero
One third less than zero.
