Answer:

On a number line, −2 is located to the right of −3

Step-by-step explanation:

It's better constructing a graph

In any case:

A.) On a number line, −2 is located to the left of −3.

-This is wrong. -2 is closer to the zero on the right thus, -3 is on the left of -2 and -2 is on the right of -3

B.) On a number line, −2 is located to the right of −3.

-This is correct

3.) On a number line, −2 is located to the left of 0 and −3 is located to the right of 0.

-This is wrong. Since both -2 and -3 are negative integers, both must be in the left of 0

4.) On a number line, −2 is located to the right of 0 and −3 is located to the left of 0.

-This is wrong. Since both -2 and -3 are negative integers, both must be in the left of 0
