To subtract a positive number, you go the specified number of units to the left. To subtract a negative number (which is the same as adding the corresponding positive number), you go to the right.

What is a line formed by a constant y coordinate?
If the y coordinate does not change, it is a horizontal line.
What is the use of number line?
It shows multiple numbers in order to use in addition, subtraction, etc.
The horizontal or vertical number line on the coordinate plane?
The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane is called the x-axis, and the vertical number line on a coordinate plane is called the y-axis.
The number that corresponds to a point on a number line?
coordinate, or coordinate value
What is a straight line that best fits the data on the coordinate plane?
The straight line that best fits the data on a coordinate plane is the Line Of Best Fit.
What is a y coordinate?
A y coordinate is when you have a long line (y axis) and you coordinate (put numbers on that line) and you graph them
When would you use a number line in life?
When you are starting to learn about numbers, their addition and subtraction.
What is a line formed by a constant y coordinate?
If the y coordinate does not change, it is a horizontal line.
What is the use of number line?
It shows multiple numbers in order to use in addition, subtraction, etc.
What are the coordinates of the y-intercept of a line?
The x-coordinate is zero. The y-coordinate depends on the individual line.
Which expression is used to find the slope of a line?
The steepness of a line can be measured as the slope of a line. The letter 'm' is used to denote the slope and it can be expressed as m= (y coordinate of A- y coordinate of B)/ (x coordinate of A- x coordinate of B). A and B are two points on the line.
The horizontal or vertical number line on the coordinate plane?
The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane is called the x-axis, and the vertical number line on a coordinate plane is called the y-axis.
The number that corresponds to a point on a number line?
coordinate, or coordinate value
What is the term for the vertical line on a coordinate plane?
"The" vertical line is wrong; there are lots of vertical lines on a coordinate plane. In the usual x-y coordinate system, such a line has an equation of the form:x = a (for some constant "a"); for example: x = 3
Which method could you use to calculate the y-coordinate of the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoint at 0 0 and 0 15?
Each coordinate of the midpoint of a straight line segment is the arithmetic mean of the coordinates of the endpoints. So the y-coordinate is (0+15)/2 = 7.5
Why do you use parentheses on Coordinate Planes?
so that they don't get mixed up if they are put up in a line horizontally
What is the vertical number line which helps to form the coordinate system?
The vertical number line which helpd to form the coordinate plane
