The additive inverse.
These two numbers are:* At opposite sides of the number zero, and* At the same distance from the number zero.
They are the numbers that are placed on a number line that are exact same distance away from 0
The opposite of a positive number is a negative number. For example, the positive number 5 becomes the negative number -5 (minus five).Both numbers are the same distance either side of zero (-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
