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.
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
The answer is always a positive number or zero. In this case just change the sign....+6 is your answer.
The absolute value is its distance from zero on a number line. So, for an example, the absolute value of both +6 and -6 is 6, as both values are 6 units away from zero although they are in opposite directions.
The opposite number of 9 is -9. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is the same distance from zero on the number line, but in the opposite direction. This is denoted by adding a negative sign in front of the number, indicating its direction opposite to the original number.
