Question

Which statements is not true

Answer 1

a < = b.....true
c > 0....true
|b| = c....true
-a = c...not true

Answer 2

The statement which is not true based on the given graph is:

c= -a

Explanation:

We know that if a number lie to the left of zero on a number line then it is a negative number and if a number lie to the right of zero then it is a positive number.

• Now, her a and b lie to the left of zero.

Hence, a,b<0

Also, a is to the left of b.

This means that:

a<b

Hence, a ≤ b is correct.

• Also we see that points b and c lie at a equal distance from zero.

Hence,

|b|=c

• Also, c lie to the right of zero.

This means that:

c > 0

• Now, a and c are not at a equal distance from zero.

Hence, c≠ -a.
