Question

Which it true about modeling a solution to an addition problem on a vertical number line?

A. When adding a negative number, you move down

B. When adding a positive number, you move down

C. Locating the sum is not necessary.

D. Locating the sum is the first step

Answer 1

Part A is correct :)

Answer 2

A. When adding a negative number, you move down

Explanation:

Actually, according to transformation of functions, there's two types of transformation, those that only involve translation, and those that change the dimension of the function.

In this case, modelling a solution to an addition problem, we know that adding a negative number, the function will move downs, because in that case we will be transformation or "changing" the y-variable, that's why it will move vertically.

Therefore, the right answer is A.
