Match the terms to their definition. 1 . a number that is less than zero positive number 2 . a number belonging to the set made up of the counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, and so on integer 3 . a number that is greater than zero negative number 4 . a number belonging to the set made up of the whole numbers and their opposites opposite numbers 5 . a line that graphically represents all numbers natural number 6 . two numbers that are the same distance from zero on the number line, but in opposite directions number line

Answer 1

Answer: 1. Negative number

2. Natural number

3. Positive number

4. Integers

5. Number line

6. Opposite numbers

Explanation:

1. The first statement says a number that is less than zero, which means any negative number would be less than zero. For example (-1), (-2), etc.

2. The second statement is asking for numbers belonging to the counting set, which means starting from one (1). Natural numbers are numbers that start from 1 and don't include negative numbers or zeros.

3. The third statement says the number that is greater than zero, as negative numbers are smaller than zero and the natural number option has already been chosen above, we will consider positive numbers.

4. Whole numbers consist of both negative and positive integers including zero. Therefore, a set of whole numbers will be written as integers.

5. Number line is a line that represents both negative and positive numbers.

6. Consider an example- (+5) and (-5), both the numbers are the same but with different signs, making them opposite of each other. Therefore, the correct answer would be opposite numbers.
