Answer:

The integer represents the yards gained or lost on the next play is 9.

The required number line is shown in figure 1.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A football team lost 9 yards during a play.

Represent Lost with a negative sign.

Thus, lost of 9 yards can be written as: -9 (As shown in the provided figure)

Now it is given that the team had a combined gain or loss of 0 yards after the next play.

Let they gain or lost x score in next play.

-9 + x = 0

Add both the sides by 9

x = 9

It means team must gain 9 yards.

So, the integer represents the yards gained or lost on the next play is 9.

Now represent this on number line.

Move 9 digit right to -9.

The required number line is shown in figure 1:
