Question

on the following number line point c representes the integer-1 identify the integer that each of the other letters represent

Answer 1

A = -10

Explanations:

Since the letter C represents the integer -1 on the number line and the integer immediately after it is 0, this means that each tick on the number line represents an absolute value of 1.

C = -1

D and E are on the positive side of the number line

Since there are 3 ticks between C and D:

D = C + 3(1)

D = -1 + 3

D = 2

Since there are 10 ticks between C and E:

E = C + 10(1)

E = -1 + 10

E = 9

A, B and C are on the negative side of the number line

Since B falls 3 ticks behind C

B = C + 3(-1)

B = -1 - 3

B = -4

Since A falls 9 ticks behind C

A = C + 9(-1)

A = -1 - 9

A = -10
