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.
To identify the opposite of an integer on a number line, locate the integer's position on the line. The opposite of that integer is found by moving the same distance in the opposite direction from zero. For example, if the integer is +3, you would move 3 units to the left of zero to find -3, which is its opposite. This visual representation helps clearly show the relationship between integers and their opposites.

The opposite of the integer 2 is -2. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is found by changing its sign. Therefore, while 2 is a positive integer, -2 is its negative counterpart.
Because that is how the opposite of a number is defined.

Integers. They are pretty much any whole number. (This includes negative numbers)
technically speaking yes the opposite of 5 is -5
The opposite of an integer is the integer that, when added to it, results in a sum of zero. In this case, the opposite of -6 is 6, since -6 + 6 = 0. The opposite integer is also known as the additive inverse.
An integer less than 0 would be at the same distance from 0 as its positive equivalent, but would lie on the opposite side (left) of the 0.
An integer is just a whole number, excluding zero. Any positive integer will always have an opposite just by placing a negative sign in front of the positive integer. You can also say that any negative whole number is an integer.
