Step by step

Negative Numbers go backwards from 0 so counting the tick marks from 0 to -2 is 2 spaces to the left. -11 is 11 ticks to the left. -17 is 17 ticks to the left.

Answer 2

-17 would be three tick marks to the right of -20

-11 would be 9 tick marks to the right of -20 or 6 right of the tick mark for -17

-2 would be 18 tick marks to the right of -20 or 15 tick marks to the right of -17 or 9 tick marks to the right of -11

Explanation:

-20, -19, -18,-17 This is what -17 is three tick marks to the right of -20

-20 -19 -18 -17 -16 -15 -14 -13 -12 -11

-20 -19 -18 -17 -16 -15 -14 -13 -12 -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2
