Answer: 2

Think of the opposite of an integer in terms of a number line.

The opposite of an integer is the same distance from zero as the original integer, but on the opposite side of zero.

So the opposite of -2 is 2.

Notice that the opposite of a negative integer is a positive integer.

I have also shown my work in the image attached.
