What are 2 integers the same distance from 0 on a number line but on opposite sides?
They are additive inverses of each other. They are often called opposites, but that is not good practise. You can have multiplicative inverses (1/2 and 2 because they multiply to 1), and will you call them opposites also?
What is the opposite of 'component'?
There are opposites of some adverbs and adjectives. The idea of "opposites" is conceptually weak and not all words have opposites.
What is it when all whole numbers and their opposites are?
The elements of the set ... -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ... are known as integers
Are analogies always opposites?
